box unchecks itself on submit

[olivia]

Hi there, annoying glitch - have a medical calculator which takes values and passes them to a child window, the checkbox that is scripted with an &quot;if else&quot; unchecks itself on submit, although the correct value is passed. If you go back to the parent window and submit again, the unchecked value is passed the next time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Other check boxes scripted with only an &quot;if&quot; statement remain checked. The box in question &quot;istakingmed: is not referenced again in the script. Any ideas??<br><br>sample errant code:<br><FONT FACE=monospace>if ( document.adder.istakingmed.checked && tsbpcalc &gt;= 149 && tsbpcalc &lt;= 160) {<br>document.adder.outputtsbp.value=&quot;8&quot;;<br>document.adder.treatbpstat.value=&quot;With a treated systolic blood pressure of &quot; + tsbpcalc + &quot;.&lt;br&gt;&quot;;<br>}else if ( document.adder.istakingmed.checked == false && tsbpcalc &gt;= 181 && tsbpcalc &lt;= 192) {<br>document.adder.outputtsbp.value=&quot;8&quot;;<br>document.adder.treatbpstat.value=&quot;With an untreated systolic blood pressure of &quot; + tsbpcalc + &quot;.&lt;br&gt;&quot;; <br>}</font>

I took a real quick look at your code so I don't know if the following will help.<br><br>Try putting parenthesis around <FONT FACE=monospace>tsbpcalc &gt;= 149</font>, <FONT FACE=monospace>tsbpcalc &lt;= 160</font>, <FONT FACE=monospace>document.adder.istakingmed.checked == false</font>, <FONT FACE=monospace>tsbpcalc &gt;= 181</font>, <FONT FACE=monospace>tsbpcalc &lt;= 192</font> <br>(it would look something like this: <FONT FACE=monospace><br>if ( (document.adder.istakingmed.checked) && (tsbpcalc &gt;= 149) && (tsbpcalc &lt;= 160) )</font><br>).&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Browsers often complain about these things.&nbsp;&nbsp;They like it when code <p>REH<br><a href=mailto:hawkdogg@crosswinds.net>hawkdogg@crosswinds.net</a><br><a href=
