Client Script // Check if Checkbox is true

[Meloper]

Hay i have two or more Checkboxes on a form. If one of these boxes are checked, the record has to change the state ......

if i use:

var check1 = g_form.getValue('u_br_used');
var check2 = g_form.getValue('u_script_include_used');
var check3....

if (check1 == 'true' || check2 == 'true') {}

it works!

If i use 

if ((check1  || check2) == 'true') {}

an only Checkbox2 ist checked it does not work...

why?

i only want to check if one of the boxes is checked and i dont want to write

check1 == 'true' || check2 == 'true' || check3 == 'true' || check4 == 'true' || .....

Hi,

the expression should be evaluated as true/false; it requires expression and not the values

so it won't work so use

if (check1 == 'true' || check2 == 'true') {}

Thank you, can you please try to explain it in more detail?

Hi,

The if statement requires expression to evaluate

when you say check1 it is just a value but when you say check1 == 'true' it is an expression which it would evaluate to either true/false

and

(checkBR || checkSI || checkAPI|| checkDS || checkNot || checkTable || checkCati || checkUGR || checkProp || checkOther)
