    If at all possible, set the status of your checkboxes server-side. If
for some reason this isn't possible, use the onload event for the document
and loop through the form's elements collection; whenever the loop hits a
form element of type "checkbox", validate whether that element is in the
array of checkboxes that should be checked. But again, this really should be
done server-side.
