Please don't use checks to emulate options buttons behavior.

This inspired me to try with Javascript turned off, and sure enough I can choose multiple options. There was no obvious error so I assume my all-choices answer was processed.

Some sites can justify breaking if javascript is off, but not yours.

edit: Additionally it seems HTML is not escaped at all. I should have used something more obvious than just <b>ing the comments...

Thanks for the helpful input... the page is fixed now ;-)

Oh, if you switch Javascript off, only your first selection from 1 -> 10 is accepted. Well, that is the way it should work, but I'll test that.

The checkboxes will soon be turned into radio buttons.
