That is close, the item section will be different for each check box.
The table will have three columns that will be populated with check
boxes only. The header section in the table will have a global select
for each column. So if there is a row that has the following
chk_<categoryID>_<itemID>........ each row will share the same
itemID and each column will share the same category id.
header1 = cat1... header2 = cat2.
row1 = item1.... row2 = item2
so we have two rows with two columns. We'll have four checkboxes that
will look like this.
ckb_cat1_item1 ckb_cat2_item1
ckb_cat1_item2 ckb_cat2_item2
So, if I select the header for category 1, I need to be able to select
ckb_cat1_item1 & ckb_cat1_item2.
Hopefully that makes more sense.
Thanks!
