Hey Zed,

I've tried to generate the checkboxes one at a time like in your second example.

CGI::checkbox(-name => 'the_group', -value => $value, -label =>'')

[download]

Now what i require is something similar to...

$some_spaces = "    " #here are 4 spaces.
$my_label = $title . $some_spaces . $description . $somespaces . $more
+text 
# the variables above just represent some basic information
CGI::checkbox(-name => 'the_group', -value => $value, -label =>$my_lab
+el)

[download]
now what i'd expect from the web page is a checkbox with a label that has each part split by 4 spaces.
Unfortunately the html is being smart and removing unnecessary white space, so what i end up with is each variable only being seperated by a single space, ideally what im looking for is a way to get around this.
any more ideas would be appreciated

thanks
