Checkboxes
You should use checkboxes for fields whose values can be one or
more of a predefined set of values. By giving each checkbox the
same NAME attribute, the data will be sent as a list of values if
multiple boxed are checked. Like text fields, the checkbox uses
the <input> tag, with a TYPE of "checkbox":
<input type="checkbox">
Each checkbox should also have a VALUE attribute. This is the data
that will actually be sent to PonyExpress for your checkbox field,
not the text visible on the page. To have a checkbox default to
an already-checked state, add the "CHECKED" keyword inside
the INPUT tag.
For example:
Please contact me by:<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="contact" value="email">
E-mail <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="contact" value="phone">
Phone <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="contact" value="snail">
U.S. Mail <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="contact" value="none"
checked> Don't contact me <br>
