Checkboxes are just html. Anybody can code them. Actually, checkboxes belong somewhere between the open form element, and the close form element. The open form element should have at least a name, method and action properties and optionally an enctype property for file/image uploads. Just like this:
If you've been on the web at all, you've gone through multipart forms, where you fill out, let's say, section one, click submit, and fill in section two, etc.. This makes sense from dividing the forms into chunks, controlling the amount of information received, and also for verfication. If we want the user to set up an account with us, we might want to make sure that the username and password they select are unique before we have them fill out much else.
