I can't use it inside a table, for example for a list of permissions of several users shown in a table. It does not work if I change the ID. Then .js is required for this. Any ideas on how I can make it work for several rows and unique IDs ??? Test this: change the id and it will not work anymore.

Nice, but when using small buttons the checked box well go down. So it's not in the middle anymore.

You can set it to visibility:hidden; so it doesn't appear (I guess)
