I have a form that I created. It is called http://localhost/index.php/FormUserBackend. Near the top I want to append some radio buttons. So I tried this:

form_open('views/User_Activity_Survey.php');
$str=form_checkbox( "test1", "Question1",FALSE, "class=form-checkbox id=input_4_3 name=q4_whichOf[]" );
echo ($str);
$str=form_checkbox( "test2", "Question2",FALSE, "class=form-checkbox id=input_4_3 name=q4_whichOf[]" );
echo ($str);
$str=form_checkbox( "test3", "Question3",FALSE, "class=form-checkbox id=input_4_3 name=q4_whichOf[]" );
echo ($str);
form_fieldset_close();
$this->load->view('User_Activity_Survey.php');

Bur when I look at the output in the browser, none of these appended fields display. So I decided to look in the output window and I do see them near the top:

etc.

They are in the wrong place. Is there some built in tools in CI to manipulate the DOM? This might be better than blindly prepending some checkboxes.
