If/then statement for dropdown and check box

How do I write a javascript to select or not select a checkbox based on the answer given in a dropdown? So for example

If "yes" is selected in the dropdown, the N/A checkbox is not selected.

If "no" is selected in the dropdown, the N/A checkbox is selected.

As validation script of dropdown field, use this:

if(event.value == "yes")
 this.getField("N/A").checkThisBox(0,false);
else if(event.value == "no")
 this.getField("N/A").checkThisBox(0,true);

Seems simple enough, but I can't get it. Are there any other settings I should check?

Check if checkbox name is "N/A" and if dropdown choices are "yes" and "no" or "Yes" and "No", because it's case-sensitive.
