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

This should allow you to check if element with id  remember  is  checked   if  document getElementById  remember   is   checked

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

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
