How to remove unchecked item from textbox?

My JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function getVal(chk, adto)
{
  var ad="";
  if (chk.checked) 
  {
    ad=document.getElementById(adto).value + chk.value;
    document.getElementById(adto).value = ad;
  }
  else  
  {
  }
}
</script>

The first block is working as I wanted but when user unchecked the check box it should remove the value from the text box.

Below is the HTML code:

<body>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="0" id="chk0" onclick="getVal(this, 'inp0')">value 0<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="1" id="chk1" onclick="getVal(this, 'inp0')">value 1<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="2" id="chk2" onclick="getVal(this, 'inp0')">value 2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="3" id="chk3" onclick="getVal(this, 'inp0')">value 3<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="4" id="chk4" onclick="getVal(this, 'inp0')">value 4<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="5" id="chk5" onclick="getVal(this, 'inp0')">value 5<br>
<br>
<input type="text" name="inp" id="inp0" readonly><br>

Please help how to remove the unchecked options from the text box.

DEMO

Assuming all checkboxes with the same name adds to the same field. If not we will need more code.

I also assumed the boxes are wrapped in a form tag

function getVal(chk, adto) {
  var ad=[];
  var checks = chk.form[chk.name];
  for (i=0;i<checks.length;i++) {
    if (checks[i].checked) {
      ad.push(checks[i].value);
    }
  }
  document.getElementById(adto).value = (ad.length>0)?ad.join(" "):"";

}
