title: MVC3 - How to correctly use @html.checkbox?
body: <p>I'm new to MVC3 and I can't figure out how to use checkboxes in MVC.
  I have a bunch of text in my view like</p>
  
  <pre><code>text1
  text2
  text3
  text4
  text5
  
  submitbutton
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This text is not related to any model its just plain text. I would like to place a checkbox for each item and a link it to the controller so that when a user selects some of the checkbox values and clicks on the submit button my controller picks up which items have been selected.
  I tried using @html.checkbox("text"+ index) and tried the controller to be </p>
  
  <pre><code>[HttpPost]
  public ActionResult controller(List&lt;string&gt; list)
  {
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that doesn't pick up the list of selected items. Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong or another way to do it?</p>
