[FX.php List] Checkbox

Derrick,

Yes, you are right. I get the value lists contents with each its checkbox on
the page exactly as I want it.
What I do not get is the possibility to show which values are ticked off, if
there is more the one box checked.

That was just an experiment. It does not seem to make a difference.

That also was an experiment. But I do match strings, which either are alike
character for character or not alike. Each value is a combination of letters
and numbers

The valuelist can be changed into an array with split, using "," as
separator. I am not sure how it is formatted in XML or how FX parses this.
I need to dig more into this.

That's a problem well known to me too. Late evenings coding seem to produce
lots of empty space...
