hey does anyone know how to check a value on a checkbox? I have right now

stats.setChangeHandler(“myHandler”);  
function myHandler(component) {  
statsob = stats.getSelectedItem().value;  
}

Will that grab the true or false statment from the checkbox? Becuase all i need is someway to tell if it is true or false and have if statsments for it?
