The var name should just be 'junk' since that is the name of the
checkbox. Also, I don't think you should have a closing parenthesis
after _id='no_table_junk'. Just a typo? Also, accessing it like
request.vars['no_table_junk'] will throw an error. Why not just use
request.vars.xxx and check for None? Also, it will not have a value of
'off' when unchecked, request.vars will just be empty. This works for
me:
def checktest():
div=DIV(_id='test')
inp = INPUT(_type='checkbox',
_name='junk',
_id='no_table_junk',
_onclick="ajax('process_checkbox',
['no_table_junk'],':eval');")
return dict(div=div,inp=inp)
def process_checkbox():
checkbox_results=request.vars.junk
return """jQuery("#test").html("%s");""" % checkbox_results
