How to get the document Id from struts html property

Question

How to get the value of struts property bean in javascript?

Let us say i have the following code in JSP :

<html:checkbox property="age">

The property is defined in bean class :

private boolean age ;

How to get its value in javascript ?

I have done something but it doesn't help.

document.forms['myform'].getElementsByName('age'); //shows error 
TypeError: document.forms.getElementByName is not a function

What should i use in this case ..

Answer 1

Use only

document.getElementsByName("age");

Edit:

   $(document).ready(function(){
    if(document.getElementsByName("age")[0].checked == true){
             //do something
          }
    });
