Just a note here: If this form is used for PHP input-only (not a sticky 
form), there's no reason for PHP's sake to add the integers as long as 
the selections are sequential. In other words, naming all selections 
chkbxFldName[] will produce an indexed array of chkbxFldName[0], 
chkbxFldName[1], etc on the server side.
	I haven't played with this on the JavaScript side to know how it would 
affect this particular script, but with those two caveats, it shouldn't 
mess up your PHP input.
