How to Make Checkboxes in Dreamweaver
Check boxes are small, square boxes that allow users to toggle a check mark on or off. In HTML, these check boxes are usually added to a form, which allows submission of this "Yes" or "No" type input. However, you may place clickable check boxes without a form in Dreamweaver, but the user will not be able to submit the information. This is still useful when creating a visual check list of information.
