uncheck a box

[macsig]

Hello, is it possible through prototype uncheck a checkbox?

I'm working on a rails app and I need, when an action is submitted
unchecked some boxes within a rjs.


Thanks and have a nice day!

There is nothing in Prototype to perform this task. Just use plain-old
JavaScript.

document.myform.mycheckbox.checked=false

That is not exactly true...

while this is a very direct way of doing so, Prototype does offer a
wrapper for the same command:

$('formId').getInputs('checkbox').invoke('setValue', false); // will
uncheck all checkboxes in the form

As long as you can access the checkboxes individually, you can simply
use:
$('someCheckboxId').setValue(false); // to uncheck it
