I am very much new to this!.I am running some javascript in adobe PDF files and I am trying to trigger a message in a text box based on whether a check box is checked or not.

var checkbox = getField("OK").value;
If (checkbox == True);{
event.value = " Check Box is Checked   ";
}
Else {
 event.Value = " check box not checked";
}

Could anyone please help.

You need the `checked` status of checkbox, not value. – Tushar Apr 20 '17 at 08:53

Your example is not valid JavaScript. The conditional keywords must be in lowercase. – evolutionxbox Apr 20 '17 at 08:59

JavaScript is case sensitive. It should be `if`, `else`, `true`, and `value` all in lowercase. Also, remove the `;` before the first `{`. – nnnnnn Apr 20 '17 at 08:59
