FWIW, here are two other possibilities:
// ternary statement
$("myelement")[element.checked ? 'show' : 'hide']();
// custom Element method
Element.addMethods({
setVisible: function(element, visible) {
element = $(element);
return element[visible ? 'show' : 'hide']();
}
});
$("myelement").setVisible(element.checked);
