Add Check Boxes

I

nstead of having your users enter information, you can provide them with a set of choices. When

you want to allow users to select from a group of choices, and allow them to potentially select

more than one choice, you can use check boxes. In HTML, check boxes use the tag, but

with the type attribute set to checkbox. Like text fields, check boxes need a name attribute, but

they also require a value. A set of check boxes should all have the same name, but different values.

If you are using labels, each also needs a unique ID.
