Check boxes

Check boxes are groups of related option buttons, of which any number may be selected simultaneously, for example:

  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb" VALUE=1>1
  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb" VALUE=2 CHECKED>2
  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb" VALUE=3>3
  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb" VALUE=4>4
  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb" VALUE=5 CHECKED>5

Each INPUT element where TYPE="checkbox" defines a separate check box button. The VALUE attribute must be specified to give a value for the button. Data is sent to the server for each selected CHECKBOX field.
