set Check Box Attribute

[aarushi2001]

Hi,

I have a check box in my form. I was wondering how can I do the following:

when someone checks the box and hits submit, the checkbox.checke d shud be checked to true. If it is unchecked, the value should be set to false.

I need to use JavaScript/DOM. Any hints?

You could set it using server-side code, but if with JavaScript, then when the document body has loaded:
[code=javascript]checkbox.checke d = true;
// or alternatively:
checkbox.defaul tChecked = true;
// you could also use setAttribute().[/code]
