How to Put a Check Box on a Website
On a Web form, a check box is a small square next to an option in the form. The user clicks the box to place or remove a tick, or check mark. The advantage of a check box over a circular radio button or another type of button is that users can check as many boxes as they wish. Adding a check box to a form on your website requires adding a short piece of HTML code in the appropriate place.
