    [<input type="checkbox">] onSelect vs. onClick

    Hi,

    Does the following indeed imply that this event is NOT called when an <input type="checkbox" is toggled?
    This would thus imply the usage of the onClick handler instead (assuming an action needs to be invoked on check/ uncheck).

    W3C Recomendation:
    18 Scripts

    onselect = script [CT]
    The onselect event occurs when a user selects some text in a text field. This attribute may be used with the INPUT
    and TEXTAREA elements.

    I *know* the onClick can be used, I am just wondering about the use og onSelect.

    TIA,
    Fermin DCG

      Well since a checkbox does not cantain any text (it's just a little box with
      a check right?) then no, the onSelect probably cannot be used.

      try onClick, onFocus, onBlur

          did that (the onClick) and it obviously works just fine

              select is select
              checked is checked
              why to try testing a select on an element wich only be checked or unchecked ???

              <html><form>
              <input type=checkbox onclick="if(thi s.checked==true ) alert('I\'m selected');">
              <input type=radio name="un" value="Radio 1"
              onclick="if(thi s.checked==true ) alert(this.valu e+' is selected');">
              <input type=radio name="un" value="Radio 2"
              onclick="if(thi s.checked==true ) alert(this.valu e+' is selected');">
              <input type=text value=" nothing" onselect="alert ('No modif !'); this.blur();">
              </form></html>

              See your W3C if they talk about onchecked ?
