Understanding Checkboxes
Checkboxes are a type of form element that allows users to make a selection from multiple options. They are often used to indicate a yes or no answer, or to select multiple items from a list.
How Checkboxes Work
When a user clicks on a checkbox, it becomes checked, indicating that the item has been selected. If the user clicks on the checkbox again, it becomes unchecked, indicating that the item is not selected.
Examples of Checkboxes
- Agree to Terms – When signing up for a service, users must check a box to indicate that they agree to the terms and conditions.
- Product Selection – E-commerce websites often use checkboxes to allow users to select multiple products for purchase.
Case Studies
A study conducted by a major e-commerce company found that by implementing checkboxes for product selection, their conversion rate increased by 15%.
Statistics on Checkbox Usage
According to research, websites that use checkboxes for form submission have a 20% higher completion rate than those that do not.
