GetElementbyName Checkboxes in table

[MrTrue]

I'm trying to loop through all checkboxes in an HTML table that is built dynamically (size will vary). I think I understand the basic premise and I beleive I need to call out the parent element (the table) to search for only checkboxes in that table. I think I'm close but I need some help. Thanks in advance!

function check_all

    dim orow
    dim CBox

    set orow=document.getElementsByName("Approve_Table") (0).getElementsbyname("input")
    Cbox = orow.count
    
    for i = 0 to Cbox 
	orow(i).checked = "Yes"
    next

end function

[tt] dim cinput,oinput
set cinput=document.getElementsByName("Approve_Table")(0).getElementsby[red]Tag[/red]name("input")
for each oinput in cinput
if strcomp(oinput.type,"checkbox",1)=0 then
oinput.checked=true
end if
next[/tt]

ps: what would it be the idea to give a table a name rather than an id? and then use getElementById()?

Thanks so much for your help! As far as the getElementById vs. getElementbyName, I wasn't 100% sure what would be best I have limited exposure to the getelementsby. Since the table is built dynamically I can just switch my code to give the table an ID, then I'll follow your recommendation. Thanks again tsuji!!
