controlling a checkbox from an image map

[aamaker]

I have an image map that I want to be able to allow the user to click 1 of 8 regions to automatically toggle the corresponding form 'check boxes' that are displayed next to the image.

How would the javascript for something like that look? Anyone familiar with any tutorials on anything like this?

Thanks

Give each area an "onclick" event that calls a function with the name of the checkbox you want to toggle:

<area ... onclick="toggleCheckbox('check01');" ...>

and then add this function to your script section:

function toggleCheckbox(whichOne) {
   var frm = document.forms['yourFormName'].elements;
   frm[whichOne].checked = !frm[whichOne].checked;
}

Hope this helps,

Really slick -- and easier than I thought.

Many thanks.
