You could set the values of the checkboxes in a hidden filed in the parent window using window.parent. Then, assuming you have a button on page 1 you call window.parent.__doPostBack('ButtonName','') from page 2, and on the serverside in the click event of that button get the values of the hidden field using Request.Form('hiddenName')

Everything looks OK Mircea, except this. ASP.NET has ServerSide HiddenField which can be accessed like hiddenName.Value in the CodeBehind.

Yes you're right. If you add the runat="server" property to the input field, it will make it a server control and you will be able to access it using it's name.
