It is usually made using dom method. I can show a quick sketch of an hta submit to result in a google search resultant page. I use radio button instead of checkbox because it fits in the picture (querystring) better. Checkbox works similarly; but radio button has an oddity in the detail (as you see) in the constructor to make it work which checkboxes do not suffer from. Other details in the construction may be helpful too.
