For a checkbox how can I make it check automatically when I exit the form?

function checkButton
{
var e1;
if (!e1.checked)
{
return true;
//how do I put a check in the check box here?
}
}

<input type="checkbox" name="fieldhere">

to check the box use...

document.form.checkbox.checked=true;

Assuming 'exit the form' means submitting it:

<form..................onsubmit="fieldhere.checked=true">

Thanks that works great with onsubmit but I think I need to get it to work with body onload.

I tried this:
<body onunload="review.checked=true">


and it did not work.

I want this box to get checked when someone closes/exits the page or goes to another page.

If you're not programming it from 'inside' the form, you'll need to use a fully-qualified reference (document.forms[0].review) or, better:

<body onunload="document.getElementById('review').checked=true">

<input type="checkbox" name="review" id="review">

Not sure why you'd be doing this, though, since the data isn't being submitted.
