Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.Hebrews 11:1
I've been reading A. W. Tozer's "The Pursuit of God" again, and have spent time considering a way he describes faith.
Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.A.W. Tozer in The Pursuit of God
Fixing your gaze on God means that you presently see God. How can you not believe in what you presently see? Tozer makes the point that faith is unaware of itself, as it is focused on its object.
Instead of telling someone, or yourself, "just have faith," which implies awareness of faith, it seems better to say, "in your soul, look to God."
Checkboxes and radio buttons that have not been checked and multiple select lists that have no selection submit nothing upon submission of the form. It's as though they aren't even there.
At first, this may seem obvious (Well, yeah, you didn't select them, dummy!), except that it runs counter to every other form field.
If you have a text field named "surname" and you submit the form with no value in "surname", the submission still includes the variable name "surname" but it has no corresponding value. You have the key with a null value.
It's the same with textareas, any other type of input element, and select lists (where you are limited to a single selection). Even named buttons submit their values.
So, the stealthy cuplrits:
- input type="radio"
- input type="checkbox"
- select multiple="multiple"
Adam and I learned this in the midst of discussing and testing code this evening.
