Thank's for the help everybody!
I used something different (a little like this nice one from Terence (thank
you!) but with JS:
I named my form 'test' and included a hidden field 'collector'.
At the checkboxes the name is the value I need. The box, when checked, gets
the value 1.
In the boxtags I added:
onclick=add_values($name)
where name is the value I want.
Then I wrote this little script:
$js = "<script type=text/javascript>
function add_values(val) {
document.test.'collector'.value += val;
document.test.'collector'.value += \",\";
}
</script>";
It produces a comma separated list in the field 'collector' whith only the
checked values.
When sending the form, only this field is transmitted. This is just what I
wanted and it works fine.
