[JavaScript]: How to define a variable as object type?
<p>I am using following code to check whether a check box on my website page is checked or not. But there are several check boxes and I want to use this same function. I want to call this function from a Submit button click and pass the check box name as argument. It should than validate that check box.</p>

<pre><code>function CheckTermsAcceptance()
{
    try
    {
     if (!document.getElementById('chkStudent').checked)
      alert("You need to accept the terms by checking the box.") 
      return false; 
    }
    catch(err)
    {
     alert(err.description);
    }
}
</code></pre>
