Checking the status of a checkbox - tutorial

For new KM Coders....I thought I'd post something that I actually learned on my own :) so that others may learn.

To check the status of a checkbox:

code:

---

// Check to see if the checkbox is checked or unchecked.



// Assign a variable to the checkbox instance.

variable_name = instance_name.getValue();



//Check condition

if (variable_name == true) {

   //perform action if checked

}else{

  //perform action if unchecked

}

---

Simple enough huh? I used this to hide a navigation button if the checkbox was unchecked and it worked beautifully. I know new users will probably run into the problem I had creating this simple code...I wasn't assigning a variable to the checkbox. I foolishly thought that renaming the checkbox was enough.
