title: check html checkbox using a button
body: <p>I'm struggling to find a solution for this anywhere on Google, maybe i'm searching incorrectly but thought I would come and ask the ever trustworthy members of StackOverflow.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wanting to use an html button to check an html check box. There reason I don't want to use the check box will be purely for accessibility reasons because the application i'm developing will be on a terminal and used as via a touch-screen so an HTML check box is too small.</p>
  
  <p>The only issue is that the list of check box's is dynamic as it is populated using an SQL query. Obviously however I can do the same for creating HTML buttons.</p>
  
  <p>Im guessing it will require JavaScript (which I'm perfectly happy using now as I'm finding a lot of the functionality I need in this application needs JavaScript) to do this functionality.</p>
  
  <p>So to clarify: I want to click on a button, say it has a value of "Fin Rot" and that checks the check box with the value "Fin Rot". And then if I clicked another button, say it has a value of "Ich" then it also checks the check box with the value "Ich"</p>
