That should work, assuming mychk correctly points to the checkbox element.

You could do this via an id:

var mychk = document.getElementById('checkBoxId');

or by its name as a form element:

var mychk = document.forms['formName'].elements['checkBoxName'];

Hope this helps,

why is there the need to use js to disable? are you using the variable to be triggered by an action or if statement? html can handle it by simply adding "disabled" within the input tags. Just curious. I'm sure you knew already.
