Create Check Boxes

The Check Box A check box is a form element similar to a radio button except that it allows users to make more than one choice in the offered list.

The checkbox tag requires a VALUE for each possible choice.

VALUE refers to the actual data being collected.

The VALUE attribute identifies the information gathered when a user specifies a particular choice from a list provided by you.

Example

In the Name text box fill in a description of the information you are gathering. (In the example above, the name might be called status).
In the Value text box fill in the name of the value for that particular button.  Usually the form developer assigns a value identical to the term users select when they choose a particular check box. (In the example above the value for the first check box would be fulltime).

Set the Tab order. The tab order is the order in which users of your form will move through the form by clicking on the Tab key.

Click on OK.

Repeat the process for the remainder of the check boxes in this section of the form.

Choose Initial State: Checked if you wish a particular check box choice to be pre-selected.
