For a checkbox how can I make it check automatically when I exit the form?

function checkButton
{
var e1;
if (!e1.checked)
{
return true;
//how do I put a check in the check box here?
}
}

<input type="checkbox" name="fieldhere">

Try something like this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function checkButton(frm) {
if (!frm.fieldhere.checked) {
frm.fieldhere.checked = true;
}
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form name="myform" onsubmit="checkButton(this);">
<input type="checkbox" name="fieldhere" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Pyro, you left out the "return true" part. If you don't have that in there, it won't actually check the box:


<script type="text/JavaScript">
function checkButton(frm) {
if (!frm.fieldhere.checked) {
frm.fieldhere.checked = true;
return true;
}
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form name="myform" onsubmit="checkButton(this);">
<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="fieldhere">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>

No, it won't. :p Test your code in IE6.

Hmmm.... Strange, but that never worked for me before. I always had to use return true; to get it to work.. Otherwise it wouldn't. I wonder why... Maybe some kind of bug in my computer...

Thanks that works great with onsubmit but I think I need to get it to work with body onload.

I tried this:
<body onunload="review.checked=true">

and it did not work.

I want this box to get checked when someone closes/exits the page or goes to another page.

onUnLoad="document.myform.fieldname.checked=true;"
