You have to return true.
<input id="still_working_1" name="still_working" onclick='stillWork
> ("#still_working_1"); return true;' type="checkbox">
return false means don't do the change
I don't like the way the javascript is written
Use the bind function with the onchange (change event) and use in the
callback the this value (read more in the internet and jquery
documantation how to use it)
Good Luck,
David
