How to create an online form with multiple checkbox options

I wonder if you would have more flexibility if the checkbox elements were dynamically generated at page load. You could have a data source (e.g. the site's database, or an XML file) holding all the names of checkboxes and which article ID each one is associated with, and then for each ID-checkbox pair generate a checkbox with some javascript like so:

function addCheckboxToForm(articleID,checkboxName)
{
var checkBox = document.CreateElement("input");
checkBox.type = "checkbox";
checkBox.name = articleID.concat("_",checkboxName);
var content = document.GetElementById(articleID)
content.appendChild(checkBox);
}

That way if you have to add or remove some names from the database, you don't have to change the HTML.

Looking forward to working on some forms for my small business this weekend.

This could be a beneficial towards success.
