Here is my situation. I have a textarea and a checkbox. What I want is that when the checkbox is checked, then an alert kicks in so that when you click in the text area, the alert pops up. I was able to make the alert pop up on it's on without factoring in the checkbox. Now I'm having a problem implementing the checkbox. Here is my code:
in the script area of the html:
function calculate(){
if (checkbox1.checked = true)
alert("this is a test alert")
}
in my textareas html:
<textarea class="SulfurTextarea" rows="3" cols="50" style="COLOR: #FF0000" onclick="calculate()"></textarea>
any suggestions? thanks.

2 things
1. Fully qualify your checkbox.
2. You only had ONE equals sign in an if statement is should be '==" in javascript,
if (document.formname.checkbox1.checked==true)
or just
if (document.formname.checkbox1.checked)

Ok, thanks Edd. I keep forgetting about the double equats signs....always gets me. :)
But changing everything still doesn't fix it. Nothing seems to happen. I guess it's not liking something in there. Back to the drawing board.
UP IN SCRIPT AREA OF HTML:
function calculate(){
if (Inspection_maint_test.page_Approved_TOP.CheckBox1.checked==true)
alert("this is a test.")
}
FURTHER DOWN IN TEXTAREA'S CODE:
<textarea class="SulfurTextarea" style="WIDTH: 313px; HEIGHT: 36px" name="Final" cols="44" onclick="calculate()"></textarea>

Try
function calculate(){
if (document.page_Approved_TOP.CheckBox1.checked==true)
alert("this is a test.")
}
document is a generic reference to the page in javascript followed by the form name followed by the control name. All references are case sensitive.

Thanks for the help. Got it working, but the person who wanted this feature changed their mind and wanted something different! D'oh! Thanks!
