 * I’m developing a plugin. It’s really easy to use single input fields like a textbox
   but when it comes to checkboxes and dropdowns which I need for my plugin I’m 
   lost.
 * So this is my code for a single field:
 *     ```
       <tr valign="top">
       	<th scope="row">Height (in pixels)</th>
       		<td><input style="width: 200px;" type="text" name="height" value="' . get_option('height') . '" /></td>
       </tr>
       ```
   
 * Register the settings
    `register_setting( 'my-settings-group', 'height' );`
 * and implementing it to a variable
    `$height = get_option('height');`
 * And then I can put wherever I want. But with checkboxes and dropdowns this method
   doesn’t work. Any ideas of implementing checkboxes in the same level of simplicity?
