yeah we can do it in another way too.

 

<apex:inputCheckbox id="chk" value ="checkbox"/>

<script>

document.getElementById(page:form:section:chk).visibility = false;

</script>

If you are going to use document.getElementById to access a vf component, you should use $Component to get the appropriate generted id, instead of hard-coding the generated id.  That way it won't break every time you make a change to the page or salesforce makes a change to the generated html. 

 

Somethng like:

 

<apex:inputCheckbox id="chk" value ="checkbox"/>

<script>

document.getElementById({!$component.chk}).visibility = false;

</script>

Using the style=hidden helped me with checking a hidden checkbox on save of a custom form. Thanks very much for this post.
