A checkbox allows the user to select on-or-off options. It displays as a small square.
<input type="checkbox" name="fieldName" value="onText" checked>
where:
fieldNameis an internal name that will be passed to the downstream CGI script as the name of this element.
onTextwill be passed to the downstream CGI
script as the value of this field, if the user checks
the box. If the box is not checked, no value will be
passed on. This attribute is optional, and the default
value is
value="on".
checkedis an optional attribute. By default,
all checkboxes are initially unchecked (off).
However, if you include
the checked attribute, the
checkbox will be set initially.
