It shouldn't really be
<input type="checkbox" name="reserve[1]"> Room #1</input>
but something like this:
<label><input type="checkbox" name="reserve[1]"> Room #1</label>
And using the for attribute of the label tag in conjunction with the id
attribute of the input tag, you can separate the label and form element
entirely, which is sueful if you still use tables to line up your
forms!
