Perch and a petition form

thanks, forgot about the comments app. I'll take a look.

hmmm. With the comments app I can add a checkbox to a comments form. Such as:

<perch:input type="checkbox" id="commentVisible" name="visible" value="Visible"/>

I see it on the form. Should I be able to see the field and value on the admin modify comments screen?

Shoot. I don't. Here's the full comment form and I don't see any errors there.

                            <!-- START CONTACT FORM -->
                            <perch:form role="form" id="comment" class="contactForm" method="post" app="perch_comments">
                                <!-- NAME -->

                                       <perch:error for="commentName" type="required">Required</perch:error>

                                <!-- BUTTON SUBMIT -->
  <perch:input type="hidden" id="parentID" value="<perch:comments id="parentID" />" />
  <perch:input type="hidden" id="parentTitle" value="<perch:comments id="parentTitle" />" />
  <perch:input type="submit" id="submitComment" value="Sign the Petition" class="btn btn-large specsend" />

 <perch:success>
<p>Thank you. Your name has been added to our petition.</p>

</perch:success>

                            </perch:form>
                            <!-- END CONTACT FORM -->

Also, I can't get the checked="checked" to work for me.

I'm using comments 1.1

Thanks for your help.
