The entire display would need to be embedded in a <form>, and the
records being displayed as a table will have the 1st column as <input
type="checkbox" name="someid"/>. However, make sure that every checkbox
has a unique name.

That assumes this is a web based app, as you are giving an html
solution.

To the original author - is this a java app, applet, or other? The
checkbox in the google list is in a table. So, what I think you are
asking is how to display a checkbox for a boolean in a table.
Correct???
