I am in no way promoting storing a list rather than using an intersect table, but the behavior of checkbox form fields is that if any have the same name, the field is returned to the server as a comma-delimited list of the values from all selected checkboxes having the same name. Whether or not this conforms to any standards I do not know. And of course, if no checkboxes are selected, the field is not even returned to the server.
