Thanks Justin. Using "onsubmit" instead of "submit" worked like a
charm.
I will try and change the code so that each checkbox has its own ajax
call. I'm just a little concerned about how to tell the controller
that a particular checkbox is on or off. I'm sure that's a better way
to do it though. Thanks again!
