Question

I am doing this :

function GETVALUE() 
{
 if(document.getElementById("requirenewpage").checked == true)
    {
        document.getElementById("requirenewpage").value;    
        var cval= parseInt(document.getElementById("requirenewpage").value);

    }
}

HTML—————————–

<input type="checkbox" id="requirenewpage" unchecked   value= "GETVALUE();" >

I need to insert into a mysql table , 0 or 1, which is taken from the VALUE attribute of the checkbox…..but am not able to do it…please help???

Its always inserting 0 into the database, albeit am setting the value as 1 in the function GETVALUE()…..

I’m shocked that nobody has answered this correctly yet…
Change the checkbox to the following:

<input type="checkbox" id="requirenewpage" name="requirenewpage" value= "1" />

The ID of an input element is used for script access and styling only, if you want to submit the element in a form it must have a name attached to it.
