[thelist] Here's one for you... (ASP and HTML)

[Chris Hayes]

If the CSS idea works for you, it's straight-forward.

Another alternative would be to populate your form with hidden form elements
corresponding to the checkboxes in the iFrame.  With javascript, OnSubmit
read the values of the iFrame checkboxes into the hidden fields on you main
page.  The only difference will be that all the hidden fields will exist in
the form POST/GET parameters whereas checkboxes only exist if they're
checked.

But CSS is neat and doesn't need all this messing with javascript.
