in the onCLick event of the checkbox call a javascript function. In that
function use a window.open() method to open aother browser window, using the
open() methods various properties to control how that browser window looks
and feels. For the URL for that browser window, make it a PHP script
passing an ID. That script would run against the server and database,
returning the results in whatever HTML format you include in that browser
window. Works similiar to a popup but allows you to run a dynamic script
instead of loading up on javascript arrays or variables when the page loads.
