Can I pass simple string parameters to JS method?

Question

I m trying to pass a simple string parameter to a method. I googled but they are not showing anything relative. I don't know where i am doing a mistake. Here is my JavaScript and HTML code for the same.

function check(var tyt) {
    document.getElementById(""+tyt).checked="checked";
}

Here is my html code:

<input type=radio name="InterestedIn" id="Placement" required value="Placement" /><font onClick="check('Placement')">Placement</font>

JavaScript doesn't support type-hinting on method parameters, which you may have experience of using in other languages. — MackieeE

// without the 'var' in parameter list:
function check(tyt) {
  document.getElementById("" + tyt).checked = "checked";
}

And for your HTML, you can achive this without JavaScript:

<label>
  <input type=radio name="InterestedIn" id="Placement" required value="Placement" />
  Placement 
</label>

And one more thing: <font>-Tag is deprecated since 1960 or so. :)

However there is a littel difference between your onclick which will only check the checkbox and the <label> which will also uncheck the box when clicked again.
