[thelist] Is this a list?

Gday List,

I've been press-ganged into making an online gift register (for a
wedding), and wanted to achieve something that looks like the image
mockup that can be seen here:

The part I wanted to bring to the List's attention was, well, the list.

It's basically a wishlist. The idea is that people click on the item
they'd like to commit to. "Taken" items have the "tick" image next to
them. Untaken items are have an empty checkbox image.

I just wanted to ask how people would go about doing this. Is it best
to do it as, well, a list? Or would one do it with tables? (Which
doesn't make sense to me, seeing as it is a list, really).

My initial idea was to have 2 list classes, .checked and .unchecked
for example, with different list-style-image images (ie, ticked and
unticked). Is this the way to go about it?

Another thing is, I'm not sure how to put in those horizontal lines,
which I thought improved readability. Any pointers?

Also, what's the general list opinion on JavaScript message boxes? I
thought perhaps some sort of "Are you REALLY SURE you want to commit
to The Fridge? Yes/No" alert would be quite handy, but if it's bad
practice, it'd be just as easy to have that as the next page rather
than as an JavaScript popup.

Thanks for any ideas, all!
