dynamic checkboxes - Javascript

Hello!

I need help to modify the following javascript:

[HTML]<script language="javascript">

var flds = "chk1,chk2,chk3,chk4".split(",")
var vals = new Array(2,4,8,16)
var msgs = new Array();

msgs[0] = 'None checked';

msgs[2] = '1 checked';

msgs[4] = '2 checked';
msgs[6] = '2 & 1 checked';

msgs[8] = '3 checked';
msgs[10] = '3 & 1 checked';
msgs[12] = '3 & 2 checked';
msgs[14] = '3 & 2 & 1 checked';

msgs[16] = '4 checked';
msgs[18] = '4 & 1 checked';
msgs[20] = '4 & 2 checked';
msgs[22] = '4 & 2 & 1 checked';
msgs[24] = '4 & 3 checked';
msgs[26] = '4 & 3 & 1 checked';
msgs[28] = '4 & 3 & 2 checked';
msgs[30] = '4 & 3 & 2 & 1 checked';

function chkBoxProc (fld) {
var val = 0;

for (i=0;i<flds.length;i++) {
val += (fld.form.elements[flds[i]].checked)?vals[i]:0;
}
document.getElementById ('msg').innerHTML = msgs[val];

}
</script>
<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk1" onClick="chkBoxProc(this)">1<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk2" onClick="chkBoxProc(this)">2<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk3" onClick="chkBoxProc(this)">3<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="chk4" onClick="chkBoxProc(this)">4<br />

<span id="msg">None checked</span>

</form>[/HTML]

In the end I have about 10 checkboxes, which I want to display by this method. When I wrote this script in the way as you can see above it would take me at least 3 weeks.

Who can help me out to make the script more dynamic?

Finally I would replace the array values with some html-code which contains more form elements (checkboxes...) - is that possible too?

Thank you!
