[SOLVED] Checkbox value with getElementById

[treeleaf20]

All,

I have the following code:

var poststr = "statusupdate=" + encodeURI( document.getElementById("statusupdate").value ) +
                    "&user_name=" + encodeURI( document.getElementById("user_name").value ) +
				"&twitteryes=" + encodeURI ( document.getElementById("twitteryes").checked ) +
				"&currentstatus=" + encodeURI( document.getElementById("currentstatus").value );

 

It seems to be failing on the

"&twitteryes=" + encodeURI (document.getElementById("twitteryes").checked )

 

If I remove it, this part works fine. This is the HTML code:

<input type="checkbox" name="twitteryes" value="yesplease" />

 

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Need to assign and ID to it.
