public class CheckboxSet

extends Object

implements HTMLItem

The class CheckboxSet is used to create a set of HTML checkboxes to be used in Forms. The set of checkboxes are not physically connected in any way. A set of checkboxes is only used for layout reasons. To create a checkbox set, inside an HTML form, that looks like this:

you would need HTML code like this:

   Checkboxes: 
   <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb1" VALUE="Y">Checkbox 1
   <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb2" VALUE="Y">Checkbox 2
   <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="cb3" VALUE="Y">Checkbox 3
 

   CheckboxSet cbs = new CheckboxSet("Checkboxes:", false);
   cbs.addCheckbox("cb1", "Checkbox 1");
   cbs.addCheckbox("cb2", "Checkbox 2");
   cbs.addCheckbox("cb3", "Checkbox 3");
   String myString = cbs.toHTML();
