Question

I have a webpage form with a checkbox on it. I am trying to set the box to checked clicking an that exists on another part of the webpage using the onclick.

NONE of these seem to work (form and checkbox ID/NAME are all set properly):

 <a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('frmEditBasicBasic').active.checked=TRUE;"> test </a>

 <a href="#" onclick="document.frmEditBasicBasic.active.checked=TRUE;"> test </a>

 <a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('active').checked=TRUE;"> test </a>

<a href="#" onclick="window.document.getElementById('frmEditBasicBasic').active.checked=TRUE;"> test </a>

<a href="#" onclick="window.document.frmEditBasicBasic.active.checked=TRUE;"> test </a>

 <a href="#" onclick="window.document.getElementById('active').checked=TRUE;"> test </a>

Answer 1

You should use the <label> element instead:

<label for="active">Test</label>

Clicking this <label> will automatically toggle the checkbox with ID active. (If it’s a textbox, it will focus the textbox)

To answer the question, TRUE should be lowercase. (Javascript is case-sensitive)
