Simple Toggle checkbox function on IMAGE click

[ameshkin]

I have a checkbox with an ID of svc_tp_1, and an image that
corresponds with this checkbox below it.
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" id="svc_tp_1" value="svc_tp_1" /<img src="images/screen_print.jpg" onclick="toggle('svc_tp_1'); return
true;" />

I know how to get the checkbox to check when the image is clicked, but
what I really want is a toggle. When a user clicks on the image, the
system should first check to see if svc_tp_1 is checked or NOT
checked. If it is not checked, then I'd like for it to be checked.

If it is already checked, then I want the checkbox to go away. Simple
enough? PHP and Javascript are so different that something so simple
like this can waste a lot of my time.


function toggle(me) {

if (me == checked) {
me.checked = checked;

} else {
me.checked = unchecked;
}

}

Hi,
recently I have done some thing that you want to implement, but its
not the exactly the same code that you want. But i think this can
solve your problem of toggle.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var flag=false;
function Add(chkid)
{

if(flag==false)
{
document.getElementById(chkid).checked=true;
flag=true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById(chkid).checked=false;
flag=false;
}

}
</script>

Yo can call this function on Image click.

function toggle(ckeckbox_id){
var checkbox = document.getElementById(ckeckbox_id);
checkbox.checked = !checkbox.checked;
}

Or you can simply surround your picture in a <label> tag:

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" id="svc_tp_1" value="svc_tp_1" />
<label for="svc_tp_1"><img src="images/screen_print.jpg" /></label>

No. Evidently you want it to be unchecked, not to vanish. Try to write
clear and exact English, even if you are American.

Consider the implications of

<input type=checkbox ID=X>
<input type=button onClick="document.getElementById('X').checked ^= 1">

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <- superfluous and deprecated

var flag=false;
function Add(chkid)
{

if(flag==false)
{
document.getElementById(chkid).checked=true;
flag=true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById(chkid).checked=false;
flag=false;
}

}
</script>

You are posting with a false identity : no-one smart would consider that
code to be worth posting. Remember - the inadequate boast of their
prowess, the competent just display it.

There is no need to use == false since JavaScript has a NOT
operator, '!'; and if you don't like that you can reverse the then and
else parts.

But there is no need to use the if at all;

{ document.getElementById(chkid).checked = flag = ! flag }

should be equivalent to the body of your function Add .
