[Typo3-dev] FW: more than 10 check boxes

[Dominic Brander]

as kasper wrote in his email (24.09.03):
"The multiple checkboxes are returned to the backend as an integer where 
each bit is a checkbox. Since JavaScript is used to create the integer 
from the boxes it is JavaScript which turned out to be able to do this 
operation with only 10 bits. This is the reason why. Not TYPO3 or MySQL, 
but JavaScript."
