Hey -

I am only an HTML programmer so I know nothing about CGI/PERL. However, I decided to use free "survey form" script from http://www.bignosebird.com/carchive/survey.shtml to create a form.

I am trying to get checkboxes into the survey. I don't know what i have to put into the CGI or SRV file. I already have this as one of my checkboxes in the HTML: 

  <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="ITEM_7" VALUE="ITEM_7|Yes" >Ability to 
+find money for college via almost a million scholarships plus financi
+al aid tips

[download]
How do I get the checkboxes be included into the survey when they are checked from being in an 'unchecked' state.

Also, how would I get "email" and "comments" to appear below all the percentage information. I am so new to this so who ever could help me would have to tell me where to put what in between exactly what.

Thanks for your help
