Checkboxes vs. Radio Buttons
Jakob Nielsen offers some excellent advice on the use of checkboxes and radio buttons in his September 27 Alertbox, Checkboxes vs. Radio Buttons.

As Jacob is not an great hacker ;) he did not code the article very well.
I would also recomend this article over at Webstandards.org for better coding tips on forms etc.
Right. The markup at useit.com is not too hot.
That article series is a good one. A couple of others are Better Accessible Forms and Creating Accessible Forms .
