INPUT Checkbox Special Notes:
Give several checkboxes the same name (as in example 2) to send a group of values to the server. Use multiple checkboxes to allow multiple choice questions where more than one answer is allowed.
If the value is omitted, a value of “on” is, sent to the server for checked boxes.
