hum... Honnest I haven't had a look at the $html->checkboxesMultiple
yet but well.. here's how my apps do it;
I've extended the html helper as I've got quite a few 'custom'
functions. One of them I called checkboxGroup (and other one is
radioGroup, which I though looks better than a select box in some
cases)
The function behaves pretty much like the input one, so my views don't
have any more 'layout processing' to do. So I call it like this;
param1 is the association name, and $keywords the list of all keywords
an article could be assigned to (~100).
<?php echo $eoHtml->checkboxGroup('Keyword',$keywords); ?>
The signature for the method is ;
function checkboxGroup ($assocName, $items, $htmlAttributes = null,
$separator = null, $selected_label = null, $selected_key = null, $div
= true ) {
* @param string $assocName the name of the association Model. Used to
generate the proper input name.
* @param array $items collection of items to display (from
generatedList is fine).
* @param array $htmlAttributes to assign to the wrapping div
* @param string $separator to be inserted between every elements
(default is <br/>)
* @param string $selected_label attribute from a $item to use as a
label (default: name)
* @param string $selected_id attribute from the $item object to map
the selection to (default: id)
* @param bool $div wrap the whole thing in a div or not - same as the -
>submit behavior in 1.2+
* @return string html generated
Same as most other HtmlHelper method, the values (selected items) are
pulled out of the current data. The function then generates;
<div class="checklist">
<input type="check..."/><label for"...">label</label><br/>
<input type="check..."/><label for"...">label</label><br/>
</div>
The to make a nice look and feel, I use the css to give the checklist
div a fixed height and make the overflow scroll (auto). Looks like
this;

Hope this helps!
