Perform an action on checkbox checked or unchecked event on html form

We can do this using JavaScript, no need of jQuery. Just pass the changed element and let JavaScript handle it.

HTML

<form id="myform">
    syn<input type="checkbox" name="checkfield" id="g01-01"  onchange="doalert(this)"/>
</form>

JS

function doalert(checkboxElem) {
  if (checkboxElem.checked) {
    alert ("hi");
  } else {
    alert ("bye");
  }
}
