[thelist] .NET: help with a form parsing script

[Anthony Baratta]

If you check your generated HTML you see:

<input id="How_0" type="checkbox" name="How:0" /><label for="How_0">FPC Magazine Add</label>

Acording to the Help file, in your code you want something like this:

<asp:ListItem Text="Blue" Value="#0000FF" />
