Trying to write a form with checkboxes

[Charles LePage]

Greetings! I'm attempting to write a form with checkboxes. This is a list
of comic books, and what I need the form to do is produce a new page that
only lists what the user has checked. And I'm completely stumped.

<form action="" id="input" name="input">
<input type="checkbox" value="buy" /> Strangers In Paradise Pkt Vol 1
TPB, $17.95
<input type="checkbox" value="buy" /> Strangers In Paradise Vol III #67,
$2.95
</form>
<input type="submit" />

The action needs to hold a URL to a server side script that does what you
want. The specifics depend on the language you use for server side
scripting, which depends on your server and personal preferences.
<input type="checkbox" value="buy" /> Strangers In Paradise Pkt Vol 1
This needs a name.
</form>
<input type="submit" />

This needs to be part of the form.

You probably should read <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/>

There are at least four things wrong with your code, so basic that it
looks you're trying to do it before learning how to do it. I suggest
you start by reading a guide to making HTML forms. Also, why are you
using XML /> notation? In HTML, the slash is neither necessary nor
valid. I'm assuming you're not using XHTML, since there probably isn't
any reason why you would be.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll see if they have any examples of what
I'm trying to do there.

The page (and my site) is "XHTML 1.0 Transitional". And no, I don't know
how to do it, that is for certain.
