Hi Ian,
Did you ever get anywhere on this? I'm trying to create a checkbox
list like this...
<ul>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="1"
id="category_1" /> <label for="category_1">My category 1</label></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="2"
id="category_2" /> <label for="category_2">My category 2</label></li>
</ul>
Like you, I can't figure out how to implement this with the core
widgets...
