Multiple checkbox select

[bigben]

Hi there,

I have an asp page that generates a list of 100s of checkboxes dynamically. All the checkboxes can have the same name or ID but have different values. I then want to have a button that I can click that will automatically check all the check boxes. Is there an easy way to do this using client side vbScript or do I need to reload the page and use server side script?

Thanks in advance...

<input type=button onClick=&quot;checkAll()&quot; value=&quot;Check All&quot;>

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function checkAll(){
allInputs = document.getElementsByTagName(&quot;input&quot
for (x=0; x< allInputs.length; x++){
if (allInputs[x].type == &quot;checkbox&quot{
allInputs[x].checked = true
}
}
}
</script>

I also managed to work out a vbscript routine below where the checkbox name is &quot;chkCandidate&quot; and is initiated by a button called cmdSelectAll:

Sub cmdSelectAll_OnClick
For i=1 to form1.elements.length - 1
if form1.elements(i).name = &quot;chkCandidate&quot; then
form1.elements(i).checked = true
end if
next
End Sub
