The Checkbox object represents a graphical check box.
Check boxes are created as part of a form by using the tag with the TYPE attribute set to checkbox in an HTML document.
Once created, check boxes can be accessed in JavaScript as an element of a form using dot notation.
Check boxes can also be grouped together under the same name and accessed as an array by using brackets.
