Well, you COULD do something like that, but what you really want is something like an array of checkboxes.
In DHTML we have the next best thing, a collection that we can use in a similar fashion. Just name the elements with the same name as in this little toy (copy/paste into an HTML file and enjoy):
Note that items in a collection are indexed from 0, not 1!
Sorry about the code-wrapping.

Code:

StrIIf = strTrue
Else
StrIIf = strFalse

For i = 0 To 2
strResults = strResults & _

"Checked!", "Unchecked.") & "</P>"
Next
document.all.celResults.innerHTML = strResults
