Capturing "checkbox" value

[Don]

Via JavaScript within the client page containing the checkbox, I'm trying to capture the value of a
checkbox to make a cookie out of it. But, all I get is the defined "ON" value, even when it is
unchecked. I'm using the following construct:

document.cookie = "cpceRememberLoginCookie="+document.getPage1.remem berLogin.value+"; expires=Thr,
01-Jan-2015 00:00:00 GMT";

The actual checkbox value passed in the <form> POST reflects the actual state of the checkbox.

Thanks for your help.

A checkbox functions within an HTML form by submitting the usual
*name=value* pair when checked, and *nothing* when not. All reading the
Checkbox.value property programmatically will get you is - the checkbox
value. ;) The default is "on" btw. You want the .checked property, a
Boolean. The concatenation will type-convert it to 'true' / 'false'.
Hope I understood your Q.

Thanks for your reply Rob. I think I understand what you're saying. What is the JS code to
reference the checked property (boolean)?

Thanks,

Assuming there's only one element of that name, same as you're using -
with the substitution of 'checked' for 'value'. Or: give the cb an
id="foo" (or whatever) and use document.getElementById("foo").

If you want the actual value if checked, and nothing (empty string) if
unchecked, use:

document.cookie =
"cpceRememberLoginCookie=" +
((document.getPage1.rememberLogin.checked) ?
document.getPage1.rememberLogin.value : "") +
"; expires=Thr,01-Jan-2015 00:00:00 GMT" +
"; path=/";

Thanks Rob. However, I'm not sure I understand the use of "?" and ":" in the following:
((document.getPage1.rememberLogin.checked) ? document.getPage1.rememberLogin.value : "").
Could you explain that please.

Conditional operator [ (condition) ? if-true : if-false ]

((document.getPage1.rememberLogin.checked) ? ---> box checked?
document.getPage1.rememberLogin.value ---> yes, get value
: ---> else
"") ---> no, use empty string

Just a more compact form of if-else. Can be cascaded:

(condition) ? if-true : (2nd condition) ? if-true : (3rd condition) ?
if-true : if-false
....something like switch/case. The latter is faster, however.

I see. That makes sense now. I'm anxious to give it a try. Gotta go do some Christmas shopping
right now. Thanks again, and have a very Happy Holiday Season.
