I could be wrong in my understanding, but I believe document.write
will only function when the page is being loaded. Once the page is
loaded, you can't modify it without recreating it. (Of course, IE
might allow this, while Mozilla and co, I am pretty sure, do not).

What you can do, otoh, is to pre-create your bank of checkboxes and
hide them using STYLE="display:none;" on a wrapping table or div.
Then, add an onchange method to your select box to unhide the table
(or div) containing checkboxes by resetting the style of that container.

This would work fine. I use this method to create a tabbed interface
in my map application... each tab showing something different.
