The checkbox is written in pure dhtml/javascript and works without installation of any plugins, java code etc.

In most cases the browsers built-in checkbox control is good enough. There are 2 reasons for this one:

1. "Partly-checked" value as shown in screenshot 1.
2. Customized design, custom background colors, even mouseover effects as shown in screenshot 2.

• Can be directly used as form field. See the Bs_Form package.
• Can be implemented old-browser and non-javascript compliant.
• Attach onChange event etc
• More api functions
