[Javascript] checkbox onChange delay

[Roland Neilands]

Gday all,

I notice that this bit of code is annoyingly slow to fire in IE7, but 
works immediately in FF. Checking the box in IE does nothing at all, 
until the next click or key press. Is this just an IE bug or should I be 
using something other than onChange for checkboxes? It works fine for 
other input types. I renamed the function with the same result.

function doClose(itm) {
  vJnl   = document.getElementById("jnlamt" + itm);
  vCls   = document.getElementById("comflg" + itm);
 
  if (parseFloat(vJnl.value) != 0 ) {
    vCls.checked = false; 
    window.alert("Close not allowed if value is not zero.");
  }
}

<input type="checkbox" id="comflg1" name="comflg1" value="yes"  
onChange="doClose('1');" />
...

Regards,
Roland
