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 | ||
| Check
all that apply:
Full-time
Part Time Day Evening Day and Evening |
||
| To add a check box to your web page using FrontPage 2000, you can choose Insert, Form Check Box from the main menu. |
|
|
![]() |
||
| To specify the
properties of the check box, highlight it.
Choose Edit, Form Field Properties from the main menu or right click on the check box itself. The Check Box Properties dialog box will appear. |
||
|
|
||
| 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. |
