Hi there , thanks for your reply. So, you mean we need to have a "label" tag? Can we skip that label tag.
Also, I wanted to apply css changes based on the id. Let;s say If we have multiple checkboxes and use multiple selections, then we want to show some different css on selected once. Orafter every 5 checkboxes, add some css to make some kind of distinction. So, for that it would be easier if we have access to ids. and not the name..
