Answer 1

You don't need an interval, everytime someone changes the checkbox the change event is fired, and inside the event handler you can change the HTML of #show based on wether or not the checkbox was checked :

$('#check').on('change', function() {
    var val = this.checked ? this.value : '';
    $('#show').html(val);
});
