Target CheckBoxes with selections on tree

Is there a way to set up the target to be a checkbox in a form. I have a checkbox form next to the tree...I'm trying to set it up so when a user selects something on the tree it checks off a corosponding checkbox on my form any ideas?

Use javascript as item's link. E.g.:
['item (un)checks checkbox', 'javascript:my_function_for_ckecking("checkbox_id")']

Try something like
function my_function_for_ckecking (s_checkbx_name) {
var o_form = document.forms['my_form_name'];
var o_cbx = o_form.elements[s_checkbx_name];
if(o_cbx) o_cbx.checked = !o_cbx.checked; //toggle
}

Hmm still not working out so good here is the code in place:

In the tree_items.js config file:

var TREE_ITEMS = [
['My Worklists', null,
['item (un)checks checkbox',

'javascript:my_function_for_ckecking("Q1-1_chk4")']
]

The form in the main page:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

<form name="form_1" method="post" action="">
<input name="Q1-1_chk4" type="checkbox" id="Q1-1_chk4" value="test">
test
</form>

It's actually opening another window when i click the link.

Thank you so much the way I appreciate all the help you are giving in advance

The correct syntax is:
var TREE_ITEMS = [
['My Worklists', null,
['item (un)checks checkbox', "javascript:my_function_for_ckecking('Q1-1_chk4')"]
]
]

Also check target setting (tree_tpl.js):
var TREE_TPL = {
'target' : '_self', // name of the frame links will be opened in
...
}

Ok Thanks for the info....one last Q should I keep this function:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

In the head of the main page or does this need to go into the tree.js file?

One more time please

ok ok ok one last question since I know your good at this....

I've got a pretty large form of checkboxes somewhere in the 3-400 range clicking the link will check the box but the user has no idea the box has been checked really unless they scroll down. The checkboxes are arranged in categories mimicking the tree. Either I'd like to set up anchors at each checkbox section so after they click the link in the tree it brings them to the spot where the checkbox is. than they could just click a simple #top link to get back up to the tree (that part I can do). But can I add this into the existing function something like:

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

Does that make sense?
