[Typo3-dev] more than 10 check boxes

[Peter Kühn]

hi trent,
why sticking to checkboxes? if you use select-boxes you have dynamically
N, no need to change the ext when an option enters or has to be removed,
users can give it a order; you have more options on less room on the
screen etc.
i allways use selectors if there are more than five options and our
editors really love to work with them.

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.
