Changing a checkbox's state programmatically in dashcode

Question

Okay, so I\'m trying to change a checkbox\'s state programmatically in dashcode. I\'ve tried:

var checkbox = document.getElementById(\"checkbox\");

// I have tr         


        

Answer 1

Dashboard Widgets just run on WebKit technologies, so code valid for Safari should also be valid in Dashcode. Either of the following should work:

checkbox.checked = true;
checkbox.setAttribute("checked", "true");

The fact that they are not working indicates there is a problem elsewhere in your code. I would check the line

var checkbox = document.getElementById("checkbox");     

Correctly assigns an element to the checkbox variable. Also, check the id of your "checkbox" element is valid and correct (not a duplicate, doesn't have a typo, etc).
