checkbox

[ptichka]

Hi everybody,

I am pretty new at using JavaScript. SO I have having a bit of a problem.

I have a list of checkboxes, which are named dynamically with values from the database. I also have a list of radio buttons which have values which match the names of the corresponding checkbox. (I know..a little confusing...sorry)

So what I need to happen is this:

When a user selects a radio button, I need the corresponding checkbox to become checked.

This is what I have so far...it's probably completely of base:
function setcheck(form) {
for (var i=0; i<form.DefaultDash.length; i++) {
if (form.DefaultDash.checked){
var checkboxname = form.DefaultDash.value;
alert(document.forms[0].eval("check_"+checkboxname+".name"));
document.forms[0].eval("check_"+checkboxname+".name").checked = true;
break
}
}
}

Kind of hard to help without an HTML sample. Are you getting errors? Here are a few suggestions:

-Use .name instead of .value to get the checkbox name.
-Don't use eval.

Try something like this:

function setcheck(form) {
  for (var i=0; i<form.DefaultDash.length; i++) {
    if (form.DefaultDash[i].checked){
      var checkboxname = form.DefaultDash[i].value;
      alert(form.elements['check_' + checkboxname].name);
      form.elements['check_' + checkboxname].checked = true;
    }
  }
}
