Javascript using Checkbox reference to submit

[jclaxton57]

I have a form with a submit button that sends the form to certain email address.  I have a check box for a specific part of the form that when checked, would add another email to the submit button.  The submit button works fine but i can not figure out how to get it to look at the check box and if checked, add an additional email address when it is submitted.

Post your current code, please, as well as the name of the check-box in question.

So i have my submit button coded to do two things currently 

First is to submit the form using that function from the Action

The second thing it does is Reset the Form.  

I have not attempted to code the 3rd action to the point it is saved and not working.  What i have tried didn't work since i am new to this so i just cleared it out.  Here is a photo of the properties of my submit button. 

Lastly, the check box i need to reference is called OtherWork

You have to do it all using a script.

Would you mind assisting me with what that script would look like?

You didn't answer my question regarding the name of the check-box, so I assumed it's "Checkbox1".

Here's the code:

var toAddress = "me@gmail.com";
if (this.getField("Checkbox1").valueAsString!="Off") toAddress+=";john@gmail.com";
this.mailDoc({cTo: toAddress});
this.resetForm();

Thank you so much for your help

I do have one more question, how would i add so that the Subject line is populated with a certain Text Field which is called Trailer Number?

Like this:

var toAddress = "me@gmail.com";
var msgSubject = this.getField("Trailer Number").valueAsString;
if (this.getField("Checkbox1").valueAsString!="Off") toAddress+=";john@gmail.com";
this.mailDoc({cTo: toAddress, cSubject: msgSubject});
this.resetForm();

Hello, I have a question pretaining to this community. What if there are 3-5 checkboxs that I want to submit an email to different list of DL's and mail based users what would that script look like?

Here's an article with a sample file that shows how to do this with a selection from a dropdown. It could easily be modified to use a checkbox.

Here's an article on programming with checkboxes.
