JavaScript: Trying to toggle the inlinemod checkbox

[K33]

Hello
I am trying to toggle a checkbox externally, I have added a radio button for the moderators to mark posts. So when they select this radio button I want the action to be similiar to checking the checkbox eg the post going yellow.

I have tried the following code but for some reason it doesnt work:

    obj = document.getElementById('plist_'+nPostId);

    inlineMod.toggle(obj);

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

There are no javascript errors, the screen just flashes and nothing happens.

figured it out

    obj = document.getElementById('plist_'+nPostId);
    obj.checked = true;
    inlineMod.toggle(obj);
