onChange with checkbox

[Wim Roffal]

I wanted to use onChange with some checkboxes. However, the function is only
called when the focus is shifted to the next field.

Instead I would like my function to be called as soon as the user changes
the checkbox. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Wim

Any click changes the box for that element. Use onClick. Be careful -
IIRC, the onClick fires *before* the "checked" property is changed.
Check on that if you use it.

Hi,

Thanks to all who replied to my question. I'll go for the onClick!
