Dynamics CRM multi checkbox

[k1pp3r]

I know that MS Dynamics CRM does not support multi-Check boxes out of the box and it require customization.

I followed this blog to try and get the support for it. However it doesn't seem to be working still. I don't get an error on page anymore, but the code simply does not do anything either

Blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2009/03/31/crm-4-0-checkbox-style-multi-select-picklist.aspx

Here is the code i used, there were some syntax changes from the blog that i made.

// PL - the picklist attribute; PLV - used to save selected picklist values     
var PL = crmForm.all.New_ID_Status;     
var PLV = crmForm.all.New_Picklistvalue;    
    
if( PL != null && PLV != null )    
{    
  PL.style.display = "none";    
  PLV.style.display = "none";    
    
  // Create a DIV container    
  var addDiv = document.createElement("<div style='overflow-y:auto; height:80px; border:1px #6699cc solid; background-color:#ffffff;' />");   
  PL.parentNode.appendChild(addDiv);    
    
  // Initialise checkbox controls    
  for( var i = 1; i < PL.options.length; i++ )    
  {    
    var pOption = PL.options[i];    
    if( !IsChecked( pOption.text ) )    
      var addInput = document.createElement("<input type='checkbox' style='border:none; width:25px; align:left;' />");    
    else    
      var addInput = document.createElement("<input type='checkbox' checked='checked' style='border:none; width:25px; align:left;' />");    
    
    var addLabel = document.createElement( "<label />");    
    addLabel.innerText = pOption.text;    
    
    var addBr = document.createElement( "<br />");    
    
    PL.nextSibling.appendChild(addInput);    
    PL.nextSibling.appendChild(addLabel);    
    PL.nextSibling.appendChild(addBr);    
  }    
    
  // Check if it is selected    
  function IsChecked( pText )    
  {    
    if(PLV.value != "")    
    {    
      var PLVT = PLV.value.split("||");    
      for( var i = 0; i < PLVT.length; i++ )    
      {    
        if( PLVT[i] == pText )    
          return true;    
      }    
    }    
    return false;    
  }    
    
  // Save the selected text, this filed can also be used in Advanced Find    
  crmForm.attachEvent( "onsave" , OnSave);    
  function OnSave()    
  {    
    PLV.value = "";    
    var getInput = PL.nextSibling.getElementsByTagName("input");    
    
    for( var i = 0; i < getInput.length; i++ )    
    {    
      if( getInput[i].checked)    
      {    
        PLV.value += getInput[i].nextSibling.innerText + "||";    
      }    
    }    
  }    
}

Once this is loaded into the OnLoad {} section of the form properties nothing happens, at all lol.

Does anyone see anything wrong with this code?

Have you tried tracing it with something like FireBug to narrow down the problem?
