vbScript Validate Checkbox

[Scott]

I'm trying to validate a checkbox below on Sumbit. If the checkbox named
"myForm.myCheckBox" isn't checked, then the code in CODE 1 displays
False, which is correct.

However, when I test that same value in an IF statement in CODE 2, the IF
part doesn't catch the false. I'm also having trouble if the user clicks
yes. On the line with "myForm.myCheckBox.value= True", which should check
the box for the user, it doesn't select the checkbox control.


CODE 1 ***************
Alert "Checkbox Value= " & myForm.myCheckBox.value, vbExclamation,
"Test"


CODE 2 **************

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/vbscript" LANGUAGE="VBScript">

Function myForm_OnSubmit()

If myForm.myCheckBox.value= "False" Then

Alert "Checkbox Value= " & myForm.myCheckBox.value, vbExclamation,
"Test"

result=MsgBox ("To complete the test, you " & vbCrlf & _
"must check the box! " & vbCrlf & vbCrlf & _
"Do you want to correct this?",vbYesNo+vbQuestion,"myQuestion")
Select Case result
Case 6
myForm_OnSubmit = False
myForm.myCheckBox.value= True
Case 7 ' user cancelled

End Select
End If

End Function
</SCRIPT>

Dear Scott, You have to use myCheckBox.checked instead of myCheckBox.value.

myCheckBox.checked is boolean, so you also need to remove the double quotes
from the "false" keyword.

I hope it helps, please let me know if you encounter any difficulties.

Best regards.
