I have written a code that will select the check box and display the text of selected checkbox without appending(time being).Java Script is not working... What is the error?

XML

<input id="Checkbox1" type="checkbox" />
       <input id="Checkbox2" type="checkbox" />
       <label id="checktext"></label>

The java script is :

checktext.innerText = gettext("Checkbox1", "Checkbox2");

C#

function gettext(a, b) {
    var x = document.getElementById(a);
    var y = document.getElementById(b);
    if (x.checked)
        return x.textContent;
    else if (y.checked)
        return y.textContent;
}

First of all, your Checkbox is not having any text contents.
So, how the code will work?

Even if I give a text content (text between <input> </input>.. it doesn't work)..

That is because input tags store text in their "value" attribute. Like...

<input id="Checkbox1" type="checkbox" value="Check1"/>

So, do you need this?

SQL

You've got single-equals instead of double-equals in your if statements:

if (checkbox.checked=true) {

should be

if (checkbox.checked == true) {

or just

if (checkbox.checked) {

There is no equals in his code. He has used like if (x.checked) and it is correct.

<form action="demo_form.asp">

Enter a date before 1980-01-01:
<input type="date" name="bday" max="1979-12-31">

Enter a date after 2000-01-01:
<input type="date" name="bday" min="2000-01-02">

Quantity (between 1 and 5):
<input type="number" name="quantity" min="1" max="5">

<input type="submit">

</form>

Syntax:
<input min="number|date">
