Server checkbox not working properly

Question

I am trying to make an arduino alarm clock to which you can send alarm clock times over the web. This is the HTML code

 <input type="checkbox" name="alarm1" id="alarm1">1</button>

It's sending the HTTP correctly but the rest of the code insists that the alarms are always on.

 if (_server.arg("alarm1") = "on") {
 alarm1 = true;
 Serial.println("Alarm 1 is set");
 }
 else {
 alarm1 = false;
 Serial.println("Alarm 1 is inactive");
 }

Answer 1

The alarm is always on because you are setting it to be always on. You code should say:

 if (_server.arg("alarm1") == "on") {
