Check box runs a script

[site_tester]

I have a check box

Depending if it is checked or not checked I want to run a script that fills in content in another field.

How do I have the selecting in a check box run a script?

Thanks

One way to do this would be to place an invisible button over the checkbox (and turn off entry to the field).

Users clicking on the button would be launching a script, but they wouldn't know that.

The script could first test whether the checkbox is already checked and if so uncheck it - but if it is not checked, the script could check it then go on to perform the actions you have in mind.

That way, clicking on the checkbox will still check/uncheck it, but ut will also activate your script sequence as appropriate.

That is a great answer and works really well

Thanks

If your simply filling in contents of another field... might it be easier to simply specify a calculation for that field with an If statement (If checked then "blah blah blah" else "")

This would not work if you wanted to be able to modify this field.
