Am I using false the correct way?

[Noongar]

Does anyone know why I am not getting an alert on an empty form INPUT value?

 

if (document.forms["form"]["targetname"].value == "" && document.forms["form"]["unknownname"] == false) {
alert ("What ever");
return false;
}

 

document.forms["form"]["targetname"] is a form INPUT text

document.forms["form"]["unknownname"] is a form INPUT checkbox

 

I suspect the problem is due to 'false'.. but I can't figure out why.

Look at .checked. And unless you like using ==false you can just use a not (!):

!document.forms["form"]["unknownname"].checked

Ahhhh I see! Thanks for teaching me that man. I have never used check boxes ever before, so yeah. Well, thanks again!
