RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Simple Problem, but I can't find it

Never mind. I'm checking to see if the CHECKBOX is true. Sometimes my brain gets stuck on one aspect of a problem and can't see that's something else. It's suppose to be $($sChk).checked.

You are passing in a string value as the 1st parameter, and then trying to compare it to the bool value true. If you are checking for the existance of the element, either pass in the actual element reference (not the string of the id), or try to get the element reference in the function before or within the if()...

function chkShowItem($sChk, $sID){

        if($($sChk)) $($sID).style.display = 'inline';
        else $($sID).style.display = 'none' ;

}

Here's the code:

        <input type="CHECKBOX" name="sig0" value="Monica Tetrault, LPC" class="radiocheck" id="sig0_checked">
        <span style="">Monica Tetrault, LPC</span><br />
        <input type="HIDDEN" name="sig1" value="" id="sig1_hidden">

        <input type="CHECKBOX" name="sig1" value="Raphael Thigpen, Psy.D." class="radiocheck" id="sig1_checked">

        <span style="">Raphael Thigpen, Psy.D.</span><br />

        <span id="sig2_pre" style="display: none">Supervised by<br/></span>

        <input type="HIDDEN" name="sig2" value="" id="sig2_hidden">
        <input type="CHECKBOX" name="sig2" value="Jeff Dersh, Ph.D. - Licensed Psychologist" class="radiocheck" id="sig2_checked">

        <span style="">Jeff Dersh, Ph.D. - Licensed Psychologist</span> </div>

        <script language="_javascript_" type="text/_javascript_">
                Event.observe("sig1_checked", "click", function(){ chkShowItem("sig1_checked", "sig2_pre"); })
        </script>

And the code for chkShowItem:

function chkShowItem($sChk, $sID){

        if($sChk== true ) $($sID).style.display = 'inline';
        else $($sID).style.display = 'none' ;

        }

The event is observed, but the $sChk.anyproperty returns undefined. How can it see the checkbox to detect the click, but not see any of it's properties. I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, but I've spent an hour and I use this procedure a bunch in my code, and it works fine everywhere else.
