Change/Get check state of CheckBox

by

Using onclick instead will work. In theory it may not catch changes made via the keyboard but all browsers do seem to fire the event anyway when checking via keyboard.

You also need to pass the checkbox into the function:

function checkAddress(checkbox)
{
    if (checkbox.checked)
    {
        alert("a");
    }
}

HTML

<input type="checkbox" name="checkAddress" onclick="checkAddress(this)" />
