    Hi,

    I have a table such that a user can slect one or more rows by checking a checkbox that is present on each row. As per my understanding we should not use checkbox in a table that presents data. I mentioned sample code below. Please advice me how I should go about this..

    Sample code
    -----------

    <html>
    <head></head>
    <body>

    <h3>Select one or more movie</h3>
    <table border="1">
    <tr>
    <th>
    Name
    </th>
    <th>
    Year released
    </th>
    <th>
    Select
    </th>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td>
    Manowar
    </td>
    <td>
    1991
    </td>
    <td>
    <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="xx" value=""/>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>
    Iron Maiden
    </td>
    <td>
    1994
    </td>
    <td>
    <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="xx" value=""/>
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>
    Van Halen
    </td>
    <td>
    1992
    </td>
    <td>
    <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="xx" value=""/>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    </body>
    </html>

    Personally, I don't see anything wrong with this, but I could be wrong. As long as it works, and (if you are worried about validating) W3 doesn't yell at you during validation, then you should be fine? Check cross browser!
