Any help gratefully received. Can't you just use a group with addGroup() ? foreach ($item as $watch) { $watchChbx[] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('checkbox', null, null, $watch['name']); } $form->addGroup($checkbox, 'remove', 'Remove items:', '<br />'); You will get : <form> One <checkbox name="remove[0]" value="1"> Two <checkbox name="remove[1]" value="1"> Three <checkbox name="remove[2]" value="1"> </form> Instead because of the way quickform handles checkboxes. You can change the index by setting the second parameter in createElement. HTH Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
