[SOLVED] Automatically check checkbox

Applications Forms
#1

I have a checkbox a date field and a select field in a block on a form. I want the checkbox to automatically put a checkmark in it when I choose a date with date picker or select something from the select field. I looked at all the code and there is a class that handles checking the box but I can’t make heads or tails of it. I looked at ajax events on click but you can’t select a checkbox to be reloaded by any other field. You can reload the checkbox with this event from a select but I need the opposite. I have the same combination of fields in the same block:

What I want is if you select a date in date_approved the approved checkbox checks if you select a date in date_disapprove the disapprove checkbox checks and the approved checkbox unchecks. I figure I have to create a separate ajax event but I have no idea what to put in it.

Hi,
checkboxes are handled in an array and have to be addressed accordingly.
Here a little mock up to point you in the right direction:

Create an Ajax event onChange and call an Javascript method:

if({date1} > ‘’)
{
sc_ajax_javascript(‘set_check’);
}

Create a Javascript method (set_check):

var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll(‘input[type=checkbox]’); //get all checkboxes of the form in an array
checkboxes[0].checked = true; // set the first checkbox

Hope that helps
