Had a bit of a play. Looks like you cant set the “checked” property for the checkbox until its been written to the page like this

var newCheckbox = document.createElement( "input" );

newCheckbox.type = "checkbox";

newCheckbox.name = "itemToDeploy";

newCheckbox.value = "somevalue";

document.body.appendChild(newCheckbox)

newCheckbox.checked = true;

otherwise use a string to create the checkbox element like this

var newCheckbox = document.createElement("<input type=\"Checkbox\" name=\"itemToDeploy\" value=\"somevalue\"" + (parentListItem.className == "inherit" ? "checked" : "") + ">" )

document.body.appendChild(newCheckbox)

Subject: [cfaussie] [OT] _javascript_ checked attribute

I have the following _javascript_

      var newCheckbox = document.createElement( "input" );
      newCheckbox.type = "checkbox";
      newCheckbox.name = "itemToDeploy";
      newCheckbox.value = fileArray[ i ][ 1 ];
      if ( parentListItem.className == "inherit" ) {
       newCheckbox.checked = true;
      }
      alert( newCheckbox.checked );

Everything shows up as expected, except that the check box is not checked, even though alert( newCheckbox.checked ); outputs true...

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?

Thanks in advance.
