I'm hardly an expert, but I've tested the following:
<html>
<head>
<title>checkbox navigation</title>
<script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript">
<!--
function clickNav (){
location.href="http://www.rumney.org&qu
ot;;
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
check this box:
<input type="checkbox" name="box1"
id="box1" value="whatever"
onclick="clickNav()">
</body>
</html>
Of course, a page with a function like this can be generated
as part of a
perl script and the URL following location.href can itself
be a perl
script with inputs if needed to pass along scalar values
used or generated
by the first script. Clumsy? I'm no judge! Are there other,
better ways of
getting a checkbox to call a script?
