It looks like you might be sort of conflating javascript and python code
there. Before you do anything with javascript, modify the checkbox element
in the [controller_name].py file, as I described above. For example, if you
used SQLFORM() to generate your form from a database table, in your
controller, you should have something like:
form = SQLFORM( ... )
form.elements('input',_id='rebates_tiered')[0]['_type'] = 'button'
This will turn the checkbox with the id "rebates_tiered" into a button.
Then, whatever functionality you need from javascript, if any, is
implemented in the appropriate view (html) file.
