Getting the value of a checkbox

[gerkintrigg]

I set the checkbox to have a checked value of "y" and I want to set the form to post the value as a variable to a javascript script.

 

I'm trying this:

onclick(checkbox(my_box.value))

but it just says "undefined". Is there an easy way to make it say "n"?

 

Even when it is checked, it still says undefined so perhaps I'm being dumb... though it is very late here.

If a checkbox is checked, the value is posted, otherwise it is not.  You would need to say something like

 

if checkbox value is empty then

    cbxValue = 'n';

else cbxValue = checkbox value;

 

then use cbxValue.

yeah, that's what i figured... damn.
