I know this doesn't answer your query directly, but it would yield the same result ;o)
It might be easier to call the function regardless, and then test for the checkbox being unselected, and issue a "return" statement.
Hope this helps,

Well, you have to know which form the checkbox is in and what the name of the checkbox is. Let's say that the checkbox is in the first form on the page and its name is "Box". First of all, here is the IF statement you must put in your javascript function:
Just replace the capitalized letters with the proper names and the word "Box" with the name of your checkbox. Next, here is the code for the link:
Hope this helps!

Code:
function FUNCTION_NAME(){
var checked;
checked = document.forms[0].Box.checked;
if (checked == true){
HERE IS ALL THE STUFF
}
}
Code:
<a onclick=FUNCTION_NAME()>Click this to do stuff!</a>Hope this helps!
Peace out,
Peace Co.

Hello.
This doesn't work.
I have
<script>
function checkSubmit(){
var checked;
checked = document.forms[0].box.checked;
if (checked == true){
url = 'appwin.php#man'
winMap = window.open(url,'winNffew','toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,copyhistory=0,top=0,left=20,width=340,height=130')
}
}
</script>
And then:
<a href="#" onClick="checkSubmit()">Management</a><input type="checkbox" name="box" value="">
But nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Cheers
James

Do you have a form tag? Your source doesn't show one. if you have no form tag, then document.forms[0] will not work.

Using the code you've given above, I've simplified it, but changed nothing structurally, and it works fine for me:
So I imagine it's something else on your page that's breaking it. Unfortunately, it's hard to say without seeing any code. Give this code a go and see how you go.
Hope this helps,

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function checkSubmit() {
if (document.forms[0].box.checked) var winMap = window.open('appwin.php#man', 'winNffew', 'scrollbars,top=0,left=20,width=340,height=130');
}

</script>

<body>
<form action="applynow1a.php" method="post" name="theform" id="theform">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="checkSubmit()">Management</a>
