I think I left something out, here is the whole snippet. Im missing some pieces when I use the above, how would I make it a generic function that I could apply with .click(function() {  }; for multiple checkboxes? I need to string it together into the bottom part so I can pass SERVICES as a form paramter via xml....not my API, just have to figure out how to make it work! I appreciate it!
<script type="text/javascript">

        function SetServices() {
            var services = '';

            document.getElementById('SERVICES').value = services;

            if (document.getElementById('BasicService').checked == true) {
                services = services + '<SERVICE><SERVICECD>1KNTK</SERVICECD></SERVICE>';
            }

            document.getElementById('SERVICES').value = '<SERVICES>' + services + '</SERVICES>';
        }
    </script>

I got it to work, but when I select multiple checkboxes, each checkbox overwrites the previous one. Im guessing its due to the
if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
            services += '<SERVICE><SERVICECD>' + this.id + '</SERVICECD></SERVICE>';
        }
How do I make this work with multiple ID's so it adds/removes each one based on click, not overwriting? I need to be able to have multiple ID's added to the string.

The only way I can get this to work is by replacing "this" with each input's ID. There has to be a way to simplify this and have it add to but not overwrite the values
Thanks,

Ok, I have it working as expected/desired but need to slim it down its way way too big.

One thing to note, this is just one fieldset of 5, so if I don't specify the input's by ID and use something like
...
var result =[];
    $(function() {
    
        $(':radio,:checkbox').click(SetServices);
    });
    function SetServices() {
        if ($(this).is(':checked')) {
            result.push(this.id);
        }
    }
...

It loops through and gets all the ID's of the form, which are not needed. I had to use ID's for some functionality on the input's that aren't needed, hence the dilema! Please help, Im happy this works, but its so bloated. Also,
on the "symbols" row, I have to submit #1KNTK every time. If someone selects the "200" option or "500" option it is submitted with the "100/1KNTK". This is the only way I was able to remove "200/500" if the user selects, then deselects it. As always your help and expert coding is always much appreciated!
