How would I allow users to be taken to another page by clicking on a checkbox? I have five checkboxes.

I would try something like this...

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function go(){
window.location=("http://www.yourotherpage.com")
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form id="myForm"><input type="checkbox" value="myvalue" onChange="javascript:go();"></form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps!

sorry..you could also just put the code right inside the checkbox...

<input type="checkbox" value="myvalue" onChange="javascript:window.location=('http://www.yourotherpage.com');">

Both scripts don't work for me. I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm using xhtml....

It doesn't work with or without the <form> tags, or if I use inline script in the checkbox line.

The code works for me. What browser are you using?

Right, it works, but using the onChange event takes ages, sometimes 10-15 seconds for the page to load, whereas it happens straight away using onClick.
