[Javascript] IE work-a-round question (re: checkboxes)

[Troy III Ajnej]

Yeah, so was the IE, direct element refferencing, a decade older than
W3C document.getElementById(MyElement).style.something.
It was more readable, more easy, more flexy, more reliable, more everything...
by simply stating: MyElement.style.smashIt, but what happened?
 
tell Tedd who was holding back the WEB.
