Well, this has nothing to do with prototype, but you might use Prototype's Ajax.Request[1] to send only the data from the checked input (as follow):
e.g.: <form name="myform" method="post"> <input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="1" onclick="myMubmit(this);"> <input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="2" onclick="myMubmit(this);"> <input type="checkbox" name="choice" value="3" onclick="myMubmit(this);"> </form> function myMubmit(input) { new Ajax.Request(url, { method: 'post', parameters: input.name +'='+input.value, onSuccess: function(r) { // show the result or do something wild } }); } You can also use Prototype's Event.observe[2] to check the click event on each checkbox.
