remember is undefined     and the checked property is a boolean not a number   function validate        var remember   document getElementById  remember        if  remember checked           alert  checked          else          alert  You didn t check it  Let me check it for you

Try this   function validate       var remember   document getElementById  remember      if  remember checked        alert  checked        else       alert  You didn t check it  Let me check it for you             Your script doesn t know what the variable remember is  You need to get the element first using getElementById

checked is boolean property so you can directly use it in IF condition -    lt script type  text javascript  gt      function validate             if  document getElementById  remember   checked                alert  checked              else               alert  You didn t check it  Let me check it for you                          lt  script gt

You can also use JQuery methods to accomplish this    lt script type  text javascript  gt  if      remember   0  checked      alert  checked       lt  script gt
