javascript - IE can't handle jquery something.checked -

the following coffeescript code works read checkbox in several browsers, not in ie:

if something.checked

html:

      <input type="checkbox" name="something" id="something" >

with ie, get

something undefined

having element named "something" not magically bind javascript. need create event handler first.

document.getelementbyid('something').onclick = function(element) {     ...your code ... })
