toggle button change and pass a variable

BrianLomas

I'm new to javascript so I'm hoping you can help me along. I'm working on a widget that has a getlocation function loop running at startup. My hope is to have this toggle button be able to change a variable and send it to another function. I'm having trouble getting the variable to be passed into function c below. Ultimately the message is sent via POST. The code below is the basics of what I'm trying to do. The actual code is very long but I think you can get the idea from the snippet. Thanks.
