actionsupport issue

I am displaying a list of account record with a checkbox
so when the user checks a record then I need the ID of that selected record in controller for further processing.

I am using actionsupport for this but I am unable to get the ID of the selected record in controller.

Please let me know where I am going wrong and if there is a better way of doing this.
 
public class ActionSupportParamDemoController
{

    public Id targetAccountId;
    
    public Id selectedAccountId { get; set; }
    
    public ActionSupportParamDemoController(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

    }

  public List<Account> getAccounts()
  {
    return [select ID,Name,Active__c
            from Account
            order By name
            LIMIT 10];
  }

  public PageReference handleCheckBoxChange()
  {
      system.debug('target accountid ='+targetAccountId);
      
      selectedAccountId = targetAccountId;
      
       system.debug('target accountid ='+targetAccountId);
       system.debug('selected account ID ='+selectedAccountId);
      return null;
         
  }
  
  //own method
  public Id getTargetAccountId() {
        return targetAccountId;
    }
  
  public void setTargetAccountId(Id value) {
        targetAccountId = value;
    }
}

visualforce page
<apex:page standardController="Account"
           extensions="ActionSupportParamDemoController">
         
<apex:form>

 <apex:repeat value="{!Accounts}"
                var="accn">
                
       <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!accn.Active__c}">
       <br/>
       <apex:actionSupport event="onchange"
                           action="{!handleCheckBoxChange}">
                           
                    <apex:param id="account" 
                                name="accnId" 
                                value="{!accn.ID}"
                                assignTo="{!targetAccountId}"/>
                            
       </apex:actionSupport>
       
       </apex:inputCheckbox>
       {!accn.Name}
                 
 </apex:repeat>
 {!selectedAccountId}
</apex:form>


</apex:page>

thanks

Hi Sheila,

If you are passing something use param tag , then you need to rerender the page to send values to controller
<apex:page standardController="Account"
           extensions="ActionSupportParamDemoController">
         
<apex:form id="frm">

 <apex:repeat value="{!Accounts}"
                var="accn">
                
       <apex:inputCheckbox value="{!accn.Active__c}">
       <br/>
       <apex:actionSupport event="onchange"
                           action="{!handleCheckBoxChange}" rerender="frm">
                           
                    <apex:param id="account" 
                                name="accnId" 
                                value="{!accn.ID}"
                                assignTo="{!targetAccountId}" />
                            
       </apex:actionSupport>
       
       </apex:inputCheckbox>
       {!accn.Name}
                 
 </apex:repeat>
 {!selectedAccountId}
</apex:form>


</apex:page>
Hope this helps.
