How do I select a chekbox in a form if qqq = yes

before to try to read it ...

Hi,



var qqq = GetCookie("whatever");
var nCheckbox = document.getElementById( "myCheckbox" );
if ( nCheckbox )
{
nCheckbox.checked = ( qqq == "yes" );
}

thanx but I don't understand how it works, the checkbox:

<input type="Checkbox" name="whatever" value="yes" title="whatever">

should there be an ID in the input line ?

SetCookie("whatever", form.whatever.value);

find clausen a écrit :

SetCookie("whatever", form.whatever.value);

and this time : what is 'form' ?

if(GetCookie("whatever") && form.whatever) {
if(GetCookie("whatever") != '')
form.whatever.value = GetCookie("whatever");
else alert('no value was saved for \'whatever\' !');
form.whatever.focus();
form.whatever.select();
}

if form is something like :
form = document.forms['myForm'];
and if GetCookie(() returns true/false or a value

if(GetCookie("whatever") != '')

else alert('no value was saved for \'whatever\' !');
form.whatever.focus();
form.whatever.select();
}

if form is something like :
form = document.forms['myForm'];
and if GetCookie(() returns true/false or a value

It's a function that fires onsubmit:
function SendForm(form)

and this body onload:
function OldForm(form)

you can check it out here:

www.photopress.dk/romo_booking/

zform.js is the script for that.
There are two check boxes that I would like thie feature on.

I have tried this:
if (GetCookie("adsl") == 'yes') form.adsl.checked = true;
if (GetCookie("wifi") == 'yes') form.wifi.checked = true;
But then the cboxes are select allways ... (???)

Well, yes. If you want to use getElementById, you need an ID... ;-)

var qqq = GetCookie("whatever");
var nCheckbox = document.getElementById( "whatever" );
if ( nCheckbox )
{
nCheckbox.checked = ( qqq == "yes" );
}

with

<input type="checkbox" id="whatever" name="whatever"
value="yes" title="whatever">
