I assume you mean checking blind.This is when you check before the flop comes or the next card when playing live. You can't do it online for obvious reasons!

Thanks, Matt. It would be cool if online poker rooms permitted it.

You can sort of do it by announcing your action in chat. But there really is no point.

Hmm. Announcing your action in chat might be against the TOS of some online poker rooms. It's a subject that definitely needs research before you do it.

if you wanna see a perfect example of a blind check or "dark check", check out the 2004 WSOP main event FT when David Williams dark checks with 55 against Arehs AK. He flopped a 5, and arieh hit an A. Since he dark checked, arieh went first and moved allin, not having any info on williams hand, and he doubled up.
