Validating a checkbox won't work

Question

I am not sure why this isn't working. I am confused and I don't know how to solve it. Please anyone guide me so that I can find out the solution.

Thanks.

    terms=$('#terms').val();
        if (terms == '') {
            ...
        }

    <input id="terms" class="inputcheckbox" name="terms" type="checkbox">

Add a console.log(terms) and see what it returns... (before the if-condition) — junkfoodjunkie, Nov 15 '16 at 18:59
