checkboxes

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

Just like in a regular inbox of an email, how can we check without using a switch, the checkboxes that has been checked, or how can we do a Select All, that will check all checkboxes, without manually typing the names of the checkboxes (checkbox1,checkbox2, etc.)

Thanks

You can loop thru the form's elements array, and ask each element it's type - if it returns "checkbox", then you can check it by saying - checkboxName.checked=true:



function checkAll(){

var form = document.forms['formName'];

for(var j=0; j<form.elements.length; j++){

if(form.elements[j].type == &quot;checkbox&quot{
form.elements[j].checked = true;
}
else{/* not a checkbox */}
}

}

To see which has been checked - do a similar thing - loop thru the checkboxes querying the 'checked' property of the checkboxes.
