LinuxQuestions.org - color change on checkbox click

I don't use yahoo but why not just look at the source for their page?

You could try something like:

Code:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Checkbox Example</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<SCRIPT language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function swapcol(item){

 if(document.getElementById(item).checked){

  document.getElementById(item+'bg').style.background='#00FFFF'

 }

 else{

  document.getElementById(item+'bg').style.background='#FFFFFF'

 }

}

</SCRIPT>

<FORM action="#" name="form">

<DIV id="item1bg">Checkbox 1: <INPUT type="checkbox" id="item1" name="checkbox" onclick="swapcol('item1')"></DIV>

<DIV id="item2bg">Checkbox 2: <INPUT type="checkbox" id="item2" name="checkbox" onclick="swapcol('item2')"></DIV>

<DIV id="item3bg">Checkbox 3: <INPUT type="checkbox" id="item3" name="checkbox" onclick="swapcol('item3')"></DIV>

<DIV id="item4bg">Checkbox 4: <INPUT type="checkbox" id="item4" name="checkbox" onclick="swapcol('item4')"></DIV>

<DIV id="item5bg">Checkbox 5: <INPUT type="checkbox" id="item5" name="checkbox" onclick="swapcol('item5')"></DIV>

</FORM>

</BODY>

</HTML>
