HTML checkbox onclick called in Javascript

How about putting the checkbox into the label, making the label automatically “click sensitive” for the check box, and giving the checkbox a onchange event?

<label ..... ><input type="checkbox" onchange="toggleCheckbox(this)" .....> 

function toggleCheckbox(element)
 {
   element.checked = !element.checked;
 }

This will additionally catch users using a keyboard to toggle the check box, something onclick would not.
