Ajax checkbox value post problem

[louis_coetzee]

Hi,I am trying to post value with ajax, like I am doing with all the rest of my forms, exept when I echo the value, wether it's checked or unchecked I get exactly the same value. which is "yes"

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

register.php

My Form

 

<input name="terms" type="checkbox" id="terms" value="yes">

I agree to the <a href="#" target="Terms">Terms Of Use.</a>

<br>

<input name="legal" type="checkbox" id="legal" value="yes">

I am of legal age to work in South Africa.

 

The Ajax:

 

<script>

    var url = "registerscript.php";

    var what = "RegisterStatus(req.responseText)";

 

    function CheckRegister()

    {

  var legal = document.getElementById("legal").value;

  var terms = document.getElementById("terms").value;

                DoCallback("answer+"&where="+where+"&other="+other+"&legal="+legal+"&terms="+terms)

    }

    function RegisterStatus(Status)

    {

      alert(Status);  

    }

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

// JavaScript Document

function DoCallback(data)

{

    // branch for native XMLHttpRequest object

    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {

        req = new XMLHttpRequest();

        req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;

        req.open('POST', url, true);

        req.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

        req.send(data);

    // branch for IE/Windows ActiveX version

    } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {

        req = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')

        if (req) {

            req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;

            req.open('POST', url, true);

            req.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

            req.send(data);

        }

    }

}

 

function processReqChange() {

    // only if req shows 'loaded'

    if (req.readyState == 4) {

        // only if 'OK'

        if (req.status == 200) {

            eval(what);

        } else {

            alert('There was a problem retrieving the XML data: ' +

                req.responseText);

        }

    }

}

</script>

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

registerscript.php

function LegalTerms()

{

extract($_REQUEST);

echo $terms;          //////////even here the value stays 'yes'////

echo $legal;          //////////and here//////////////////////////////

if ($terms !== 'yes')

{

  echo 'Please accept terms and confirm that you are of legal age to work in South Africa';

}else

{

if ($legal !== 'yes')

            {

  echo 'Please accept terms and confirm that you are of legal age to work in South Africa';

}else

{

  return true;

            }

}

}

//////////////////////////the end///////////////////

Here the value is set to "YES" so you are receivng checkbox value as "yes" all the time.

I understand that you would think that, but this is the checked value. It's not supposed to stay the same.

I see you are using "South Africa" Are you originated from there? If so can we get in contact? I am from south africa myself.

You're gathering the value in your JS instead of checking to see if it's checked or not.

 

Instead of .value, you need to use .checked on the checkboxes.
