Working with check boxes

To create check boxes, use the following HTML tag:

<input type="checkbox" name="name" value="value" />

where name identifies the field containing the check box and value attribute specifies the value sent to the CGI script.

To make a particular check box a default option, use the attribute checked="checked":

<input type="checkbox" name="name" value="value" checked="checked" />

The check boxes are used when the input options are not mutually excluding.
