I need use check\_box to search function.

sample…

I got like 10 items and each item has over 10 subitems ( or whatever )  
Need to check some items use check\_boxes and display all subitems  
belongs to checked items.

\<%= start\_form\_tag :action =\> ‘find\_ckecked’%\>

  
\<% @uitems.each do |item| %\>  
  
  
  
\<%= submit\_tag “search” %\>  
\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

I have no ideas how to do that please if some body did that before could  
give some clues ?!
