Thus we have the problem with checkboxes -- they are simply not sent
if not checked.
Therefore, you can't do:
<input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value=foo>
<input type=checkbox name=mv_order_quantity value=1>
<input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value=bar>
<input type=checkbox name=mv_order_quantity value=1>
Both will be ordered no matter what.
The only solution is to introduce some protocol of your own. Luckily
with IC and ActionMap, this is extremely easy to do.
