How to create checkboxes

Hello folks, could you guys give some examples on how to create/use checkboxes with Seaside 2.7, please?
And one more thing: why doesn't the 'id' attribute work sometimes? For example, I've tried using:

html table id:'myTable'; with [ ....etc... ]

And what I get is that a text 'myTable' shows up at my page and no 'id' attribute is used in my table. And it happens not only with tables but other elements like forms too. Thanks for your support!

Regards,
Kazuki Sanada

Works for me. Could you please give minimal code that exposes the
problem as ST, CS or MCZ? Are you sure you didn't mess your table
(forgot tableRow or tableData)?

And about the checkboxes: don't forget the form.

Cheers
Philippe

Yepp, WAHtmlRender is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.

html cssId: 'WAHtmlRenderIsUncool'.
html form: [
   html
       checkboxWithValue: self checked
       callback: [ :value | self checked: value ]
       usingFormNamed: 'WAHtmlRenderIsUncool' ]

Clicking on the checkbox will then submit the form.

I guess so, but then the checkbox callback will not be evaluated.

A form around the table is the way to go, your approach sounds right.

Sketched the code should look like this:
html form: [
    html table: [ ... ].
    html sumbitButtonXXX ]
