# HTMLDocument.addOption(3kaya)

Adds a labelled checkbox to a form.

## NAME

HTMLDocument::addOption - Adds a labelled checkbox to a form.

## SYNOPSIS

**ElementTree addOption(** *ElementTree parent, String iname, SelectOption option* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**parent** The parent element

**iname** The name of the checkbox. Remember that names starting with "kaya\_" may be used by the Kaya standard library and should not be used directly by applications.

**option** The value and label of the checkbox, and whether it is checked by default

## DESCRIPTION

Adds a single labelled checkbox to a form. Labelled controls are wrapped in a division, and so the **parent**  may be the form itself.

-

   opt = SelectOption("Confirm action","1",false);\
    void(addOption(form,"confirm",opt));\
    /\*\
    \<div\>\<input type='checkbox' name='confirm' value='1' id='Kay1'\>\
      \<label for='Kay1'\>Confirm action\</label\>\</div\>\
    \*/
