in reply to Re^3: Formatting labels of checkbox groups
in thread Formatting labels of checkbox groups

Hey again Zed,

well actually the problem started with dynamic labelling of anywhere between 10 - 2000 checkboxes, which obviously meant creating the one checkbox_group. Unfortunately though im building a web-based interface to some webmin modules. (Webmin is a web base interface to Unix/Linux written in perl)
http://www.webmin.com/intro.html
because of this CSS is out of the question.
Currently the checkbox structure is already in it's own table with columns, but that's where i keep running into blocks. i also require the checkbox labels to also be in columns.
I was hoping to also achieve this without having to create the possible 2000 boxes individually on the fly.

i've already tried    but that didnt work, instead all it does is interpret the &nbsp and print it with part of the label.
I've also tried

CGI::pre("$title $description $moretext")
but that seems to embed the  <PRE>tags into the actual desription rather than interpreting them as the html that they're meant to be.
