Hello, I have a <textarea> and a few lines in it. I have isolated the lines - as a manner of questions. Now, I want to dynamically generate a set of <checkboxes> where each line will be an option, just like this: [ ] lastline [ ] one before the last [ ] . . . [ ] . . . [ ] second line [ ] first line where each pair of brackets is the ACTUAL checkbox. It is like an online test I found the following portion of code on the web: ************************************************************* Because I always forget how to create checkboxes dynamically in JavaScript so Internet Expoler will be happy: var i = document.createElement("input"); i.type = "checkbox"; i.className = "CheckBox"; i.id = "uniqueID"; // this is what I forget - Firefox allows .checked, IE must have .defaultChecked i.defaultChecked = false; // always use labels var l = document.createElement("label"); // ALWAYS use for attributes on your labels. FF allows .for, IE must have .htmlFor l.htmlFor = "uniqueID"; l.appendChild(document.createTextNode("checkbox label")); ************************************************************************** Could you please tell me where in the code above the actual checkboxes are displayed? Just for testing purposes, I did put the above code between <script></script> tags, and named it "create_them()"; then I called it from the inside of my html <body> from an "onclick" button event in my form. Just like this: . . . . . . <input type="button" onclick="create_them()" value="create boxes"/> . . . . . . I can't understand the workings of that code that I found on the web, all i get is a blank screen. Could you please shed some light as of what the workings of the code in question will be? Do I need to add something else? I also found some tree generator in JavaScript in this same forum, but seems to be too complicated although neatly coded. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks beforehand. vlad2k9
