I assume that you want the checkbox to be "ticked" when someone follows the 
link? Also, you've got a file called "CiscoTools" in the same directory as this 
web page right?

If you just want the checkbox to be ticked, then drop the '<a ...></a>', it's 
not necessary or useful. If you want a link to be followed there's not much 
point in having a checkbox unless the browser also generates a new page when 
for "CiscoTools". If you don't throw a new page, the current one gets replaced, 
and clicking a "back" button will redraw the page you came from as it 
originally was, sans completed checkboxes, selectors, text input fields and the 
like.
