Use this to determine if the checkbox is checked and store it in a variable as a bool value.
After that for postBody you could use:
"mypostdata="+$('my_value').value +"&isChecked="+isChecked;
Where isChecked is the js variable you stored the bool value in and it will be passed to the post param: isChecked
After Edit:
The checked variable in observer function should be a global variable. The var checked as it stands is local to the observer function.
you could do something like:
$('checkbox_id').observe('click', function(e) {
var checked = this.checked;
$(this).attrsetAttribute('is_itchecked', checked);
});
Then your Ajax code should become:
new Ajax.Request("<?php echo $formAction;?>", {
method: 'post',
postBody: "mypostdata="+$('my_value').value + "&isChecked=" $('#checkboxMy''checkboxMy').attrreadAttribute('is_itchecked'),
onComplete: function(data) {
var mydata = data.responseText.evalJSON(true);
$('shopping-cart-totals-table').update(mydata);
}
});
Here checkboxMy should be the id of the checkbox you are trying to check the status of.
