Options available if dont want to use SelectCheckBoxes

The reason I dont want to use SelectCheckBox  because I am not able to apply CSS on the SelectOptions. So I want to create a pageBlockList with relevant data for each record and
a checkbox for each record(for insert or delete the individual record).

If I do not want to use SelectCheckBox control of VisualForce and instead want to an iteration of checkboxes. Example

I have n records which are dynamic. That means I do not know how many records will be there. Its database driven.

UserName1      Email1      Phone1    CheckBox1
UserName2      Email2      Phone 2   CheckBox2
UserName3      Email3      Phone3    CheckBox3
...................       ...........      ...........     ....................

In this case how do I find out which of the checkboxes are selected. And how do I send the array of selected checkboxes to the controller?
Can I use javascript? If yes, plz send me some code snippets.

I think dchasman is going to anwer the question about passing checked records in a data table to the controller in this post using standard VF functionality. I am interested in this as well.

Code:
Say this is your VisualForce page:SaveUsers method will called when checkboxes are clicked and 
the command button is hit.

<apex:pageBlockButtons>
<apex:commandButton action="{!saveUsers}" value="Add User">
</apex:commandButton>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>



<apex:pageBlockList value="{!allLeads}" var="user" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"columns="4" columnswidth="400px,400px,400px,400px">

<apex:column headerValue="First Name">
<apex:outputText value="{!user.lead.firstname}"/>
</apex:column>

<apex:column headerValue="Last Name">
<apex:outputText value="{!user.lead.lastname}"/>
</apex:column>

<apex:column headerValue="Phone Number">
<apex:outputText value="{!user.lead.phone}"/>
</apex:column>

<apex:column headerValue="Email">
<apex:outputText value="{!user.lead.email}"/>
</apex:column>

<apex:column headerValue="Add User">
<apex:inputCheckbox value="{!user.sendToExternalService}"/>
</apex:column>

</apex:pageBlockList>

This is your controller class. Only relevant portion has been pasted.

List<LeadWrapper> listOfLeadWrappers = new List<LeadWrapper>();
List<LeadWrapper> selectedLeadWrappers = new List<LeadWrapper>();


public List<LeadWrapper> getAllLeads() 
 {
  //Lead[] allLeads = [select id,firstname,lastname,email,phone from Lead];
  for(Lead l : listOfSearchedLeads)
         {       
          LeadWrapper wrapper= new LeadWrapper(l);
   listOfLeadWrappers.add(wrapper);
  }
 return listOfLeadWrappers;
        }

public List<String> getSelectedLeadWrappers()
 {
  List<String> listOfSelectedUsers = new List<String>();
  for(LeadWrapper lw : listOfLeadWrappers)
  {
   if(lw.getSendToExternalService())
   {
    Lead l = lw.getLead();
    listOfSelectedUsers.add(l.id);
   }
  }
 return listOfSelectedUsers;
 }


public PageReference saveUsers() 
 {
 //Here the getSelectedLeadWrappers() will only give u the selected leadwrappers.
 //The data binding has taken care of the selected checkboxes. 
        String[] listOfSelectedUsers = getSelectedLeadWrappers();



This is the LeadWrapper Class:

public class LeadWrapper 
{
 private final Lead delegate;
 private boolean sendToExternalService;

 public LeadWrapper(Lead delegate) 
 {
  this.delegate = delegate;
 }
 public Lead getLead() 
 {
  return delegate;
 }
 public void setSendToExternalService(boolean sendToExternalService) 
 {
  this.sendToExternalService = sendToExternalService;
 }
 public boolean getSendToExternalService() 
 {
  return sendToExternalService;
 }
}


Plz let me know if u have any more questions.
