Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a M$ work-a-round.

All the code has to do is to set a simple checkbox to 'on' in IE.
Anyone have any ideas?

What you talkin' bout?
Document.getElementById() works fine in IE5 and later.
There must be some other error.
You could check that document.getElementById(id) is actually returning something
- if it fails it returns null.
Maybe you have given your checkbox a name and not an id, although that should
fail with FF (and Safari) too...
It's fine on IE7 - anything older than IE7 is too broken to be usable, really.

What's interesting is that only IE's would not accept that mistake.

The Javascript code below, using either Method 1 or Method 2, works fine
in IE 7. Have you tried running it in Firefox with the error console open?
I am wondering if there isn't a minor syntax error somewhere.

htmlheadtitle/title
script type=text/javascript
function checkme() {
// Method 1 - works fine in IE 7
// if(document.forms[0].test.checked) {
//document.forms[0].test.checked = false;
// }
// else {
//document.forms[0].test.checked = true; // }
// }
// Method 2 - works fine in IE 7
if(document.getElementById('test').checked) {
document.getElementById('test').checked = false;
} else {
document.getElementById('test').checked = true;
}
}

hmm. looking at the prototype.js lib, which has the $() function to replace
document.getElementById(). it supports either a dom object or a string that
represents an id attribute, but key note is its 'cross-browser' and i dont
see a workaround in there for ms..
function $(element) {
if (arguments.length 1) {
for (var i = 0, elements = [], length = arguments.length; i length;
i++)
elements.push($(arguments[i]));
return elements;
}
if (Object.isString(element))
element = document.getElementById(element);
return Element.extend(element);
}
ie has some primitive debugging tools, have you checked one of those to see
if theres an error on the page? if you choke the js interpreter w/ a fatal
error you might kill all subsequent js interpretation on the page :O ie has
been the bane of my existence on more than one occasion.
