I would encourage you to try it without the JavaScript and instead, call the API directly, like this:

var text chk = "&_FID_12=";
var text tk = "token";
"<a class='Vibrant Success' & href=" & URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&apptoken=" & $tk & "&rid=" & [Record ID#] & $chk & "Yes" & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]) & ">Check Box</a>"​

    Here is code from Kirk Trachys Magic Buttons. This example is to check a checkbox then display the record using  formula URL

    URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" &
      "&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
      "&apptoken=d9eascudwjxs2sesxkjccwgtq9r" &
      "&_fid_101=1" &
      "&rdr=" &
      URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
      "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])
