So long as your form goes something like: <form name="frmft" ....> <input type="checkbox" name="chkmodels[]" value="1">Value 1<br> <input type="checkbox" name="chkmodels[]" value="2">Value 2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="chkmodels[]" value="3">Value 3<br> ... </form> you can refer to the checkboxes simply as document.frmft["chkmodels[]"] This is the way I've always done it, and it's always worked a treat. Of course, in this situation this will give you an array of checkbox objects which you then have to index into, but that's a whole other story. Cheers!
