Can't capture the checbox click. 4

[Trusts]

HI all,

I have a form, with a checkbox named "chkBold". A JS routine should simply alert "false" or "true". But nothing works. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I just entered the most pertinent lines here. The form is full of fields that validate fine, but not this check box. Thanks! Here is the code:


<script type="text/javascript" "language="javascript">
function boldonoff() {
If (document.frmPageCreate.chkBold.checked==false)
{
alert ("false");
} else {
alert ("true");
}
}
</script>

---------------------------------------
(this is inside of <Form Name="frmPageCreate">)

<Input Type="checkbox" Name="chkBold" onClick=boldonoff()>Bold?</Input>

no need for explicit reference. change function to

function boldonoff(cb) {
    alert(cb.checked);
}

change checkbox to

<input type="checkbox" name="chkBold" onclick="boldonoff(this)" />Bold?

Pass a reference to the object you've just clicked, that would be the easiest way to do it. Also, javascript is case sensitive - it should be "if", not "If":

<script type="text/javascript" "language="javascript">
function boldonoff([!]obj[/!]) {
[!]i[/!]f ([!]obj.clicked[/!])
{
alert ("true");
} else {
alert ("false");
}
}
</script>

---------------------------------------
(this is inside of <Form Name="frmPageCreate">)

<Input Type="checkbox" Name="chkBold" onClick="boldonoff([!]this[/!])">Bold?</Input>

Javascript is case sensitive:

function boldonoff() {
[!]I[/!]f (document.frmPageCreate.chkBold.checked==false) 
{
alert ("false");

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!
