check box element, reference all in onClick 1

[onressy]

In a submit button i'm using onClick to call a function to check all check boxes

the check box are dynamic in nnumber like so:

<input type="checkbox" name="<%=RS2("id")%>" value="<%=RS2("id")%>">

How can i reference dynamic check boxs in the onClick,
this is what i have so far:
onClick="checkAll(document.form1)"

loop through all the checkboxes in the form, except the "check all" checkbox, and check them all.

something like...

function checkAll(f,avoid) {
    var e = f.elements;
    for ( var i = 0; i < e.length; i++ ) {
        if ( e[i].type == 'checkbox' && e[i].name != avoid )
            e[i].checked = true;
    }
}

you'd call it like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="blah" onclick="if(this.checked) checkAll(this.form,this.name);" />

Thanks, had to use document ionstead of this:
checkAll(document.form,this.name);"

cheers!

if you had to do that, it probably means that your "check all" checkbox was not WITHIN the form, which it should probably have been.
