In the HTML specification, and the DOM 2 Events specification, the
change event is defined in terms of control focus and value change,
not just the latter. Microsoft's interpretation could be deemed the
most correct, but hardly the most useful in terms of checkbox usage.
You can use the click event instead, though it does have problems in
at least one browser (though I think that was NN4, so not too much to
worry about).
Is there a flaw in my code, [...]
There is one: you shouldn't disable elements via HTML. If it's
possible for a user to arrive at your form without client-side
scripting support (a possibility on the Web), the form will be useless.

It was indeed the event handler. onClick fixed it in IE and preserved
functionality in FF. Thanks for the tip. Can't really remember why i
went with the change handler in the first place... :-?
Also, i realize initializing form elements in a specified status isn't
good practice, but this is a strictly internal page that my boss wants
me to "dummy-proof" as much as i can. So i figure if the user can't
enter random data unless deliberately choosing to do so, that's
helpful. Can't win all battles, but it might prevent some.

In principle, events like change are preferred as they don't imply any
device dependancy. However, click tends to be a synonym for activate
in most user agents.

With internal stuff, you can get away with much more. However, that
only holds true if you know precisely what's being used, and how it is
set up.

Good morning,
on form 2 input elements and 1 image are placed. The 1st (Index) one is
"hidden", the 2nd ) is an empty textbox.
When clicking the picture I would like to toogle a boolean value. (displayed
in the textbox).
The following function reacts correctly on the first click. Any further
click as no effect (is returns "TRUE" in the textbox).
Where is the mistake ? How can I solve the problem ?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
