The content you are creating is static and not connected to a backend via any form of CGI. If you used real html checkboxes, radio buttons and other HTML elements normally used in forms, it could create confusion and possibly incorrrect information. For example, with a checkbox, you could 'check' it on the page and change its status, but that would not change the actual status of anything. The page would show incorrect information until it was refreshed, at which time it would revert back to its original setting in the rendered output. Maybe a better solution would be to have some images representing checked and unchecked choices. These would/could give a better visual format and not be accidently changed through an unintentional mouse click or keyborad shortcut. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
