Help UI design with 100+ checkboxes

[variaas]

I need to design a somewhat better user interface for a form I use. At
the bottom of the form is 100 check boxes that you have to sift through
and figure out which to click. It's something like:

Group A
checkbox
checkbox
checkbox

GroupB
checkbox
checkbox
checkbox
.....

So now I'm trying to figure out the best usuable way to design it so
that these check boxes don't require you to have to scroll up and down
like a mad man.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Instead, you could use a series of repeating tables (1 per group) with drop
downs (items in list = caption of checkboxes in that group). This way, users
can add items on the fly instead of having to select 3 or 4 out of 100
chekboxes.

As a result, your xml will be smaller and the form performance will
increase....a lot!

Hope that it helps.
