I'm using jquery to dynamically create a list of checkboxes. However, when there's an error, I need to preserve the state of the checkboxes. I have this working, but it seems a bit kludgy: get the value from the posted form, put it into viewstate, put the value of the viewstate var into a hidden field, get the value of the hidden fie...
