These are used while one or more out of the group of options is to be selected. Building Check boxes is extremely similar to radio buttons. Below given code illustrates the use of Checkbox.

The user can select any number like 1, 2, none or all of the options. The alternative will be returned to you as the name/value pairs

Ajay=YES Tarun=YES

(or whatever the user selects. If nothing, nothing will be returned to you)

There is code for making a table having different options for three different questions. Try it yourself and view the result.
