How to uncheck list of checkbox when user click "Deselect All" button? 1

[joannyk]

Dear All,

I have the following script which should be executed to unchecked all checkboxes when user click the "Deselect All" button :-

for (count=0; count < 50; count++){
// e_arr is an array contain the suffix of the checkbox
// name

id = e_arr[count];
stat = &quot;document.sub_mem.send_to&quot;+id+&quot;.checked&quot;;
eval(&quot;stat&quot = false;
}

However, an error occurred in the eval(&quot;stat&quot = false statement. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Joan

Hi,

Maybe you should try this:

id = e_arr[count];       
stat = "document.sub_mem.send_to"+id;
stat.checked = false;

Hope it works

Hi Kristof

Thx for help. After I've tried your codes then no error occurred. However all the checkboxes are still in checked status.

Hi,

I've modified the code a bit and now it should work:
(it did when I tested it )

id = e_arr[count];
stat = eval(&quot;document.sub_mem.send_to&quot;+id);
stat.checked = false;

if its any help, i use the following function to uncheck all checkboxes on a specific form whos names have a specific prefix...

function uncheckAll(frm, prefix) {

   l = prefix.length;
   f=document.forms[frm];
   for(i=0;i<f.length;i++) {
   //alert(f.elements[i].name.substr(0,l));
   if(f.elements[i].type==&quot;checkbox&quot; && f.elements[i].name.substr(0,l) == prefix)
      f.elements[i].checked=false;
  }
}

just call it with the form name and the prefix to your checkbox names. any help? ~
