You can do this with a FOR loop.  Your control is the .length (how
many).

//loop while i is less than the amount of checkboxes present.
For(i=0, i < FormName.CheckBoxName.length, i++)
        {//you then use Form.CheckBoxName[i].value to see the individual
checkbox's value as you loop through them.}
 
-----------------------------------
I've got the the looping figured out it's the retrieval of the checkboxes' 
values that are troubling me.

But this does answer the question I just posted a minute ago, regarding the 
checkbox value.

My javascript knowledge is pretty minimal, am using CGIDEV2 and RPG for the 
entry data processing so excuse if this is a basic question: how to I get the 
RPG program to retrieve this value?  Keeping in mind that there can be more 
then one value passed (multiple checkboxes checked) and the number of 
checkboxes displayed will vary.  So I need the name of the checkbox as well as 
the value.  So there are two unique fields that have to be associated with the 
checkbox and both need to be passed back to the RPG program so that it can 
write DB2 records for each checkbox checked.
