Do you see a getSelectedItem() in the Checkbox API? Would such a method even make sense for a checkbox?

Note, please place all code in [code] [/code] tags when you post and give your threads a more descriptive title than "Help!" (as you seem to title all of your posts).

[sciwizeh]

ok,
1: use code tags
2: Forum Rules keep it organized don't use names like "HELP!!"
3:don't use "==" for string comparison use .equals(String) or .equalsIgnoreCase(String) , as "==" won't work correctly
4:ch4 is a checkbox and doesn't have a get selected item method it has an isSelected method that is a boolean

EDIT: was writing this post as Ezzaral replied, sorry for repeating
