Does anyone have the script that can set all select boxes or text to the same value? I need to set up for something looks like the screen design below:

Hi

As you have multiple sets of [tt]select[/tt] controls, it would be better to not let us guess how the elements of logical groups can be recognized. It could be done be just counting even/odd [tt]select[/tt]s, but that is stupid and not flexible. Post your actual HTML code.

This can be done pretty easily if you make all respective boxes the same name as each other.

Example, all textboxes under "Quantity" be given the name "quantityText".

Give your "All" inputs ids, say like id = "quantityAll"

Also, encapsulate all your input boxes UNDER the headings inside a div and give it an id = "contentDiv".

Your code would look something like this:

Code: 
var quantityAllValue = document.getElementById("quantityAll").value;
var inputArray = document.getElementById("contentDiv").getElementsByTagName("input");
var inputArrayLength = inputArray.length;
for (a = 0 a < inputArrayLength; a++) {
   if (inputArray[a].name == "quantityText") {
      inputArray[a].value = quantityAllValue;   
   }
   //Repeat If statement for Unit of Measure
   //Repeat If statement for Disposition
}

Put that code above in a function that get called on the click of the anchors that say "All".

Since Unit of Measure and Disposition are in dropdown boxes, you would create a similar function like I posted above, but loop with a getElementsByTagName("select").

Hi

My way, using your naming convention :
Code: 
function all(what)
{
  el=document.fo.elements[what];
  for (i=0;i<document.fo.elements.length;i++) {
    if (document.fo.elements[i].type!=el.type) continue;
    if (document.fo.elements[i].name.indexOf(el.name.substr(3))!=0) continue;
    switch (el.type) {
      case 'text': document.fo.elements[i].value=el.value; break;
      case 'select-one': document.fo.elements[i].selectedIndex=el.selectedIndex; break;
    }
  }
}
And call it like this :
Code: 
        <td class="pad2px" width="80"><input type="text" name="keySHIPMENT_QUANTITY" value="" size="3">[red]<a href="#" onclick="all('keySHIPMENT_QUANTITY');return false">all</a>[/red]</td>

Hi

Well done sakura, you figured out that I gave the name "fo" to the [tt]form[/tt] containing all that stuff... I should remember to mention such "minor" details next times... or I should just change to the current standard [tt]getElement***[/tt]...

As a side note, try not to use a reference to .length when looping through arrays that contain objects.
Code: 
el=document.fo.elements[what];
for (i=0;i<document.fo.elements.length;i++) {
You will find your code will run MUCH faster if you assign a variable to the length then loop with it.
Code: 
el=document.fo.elements[what];
var elementArrayLength = el.length
for (i=0;i<elementArrayLength;i++) {
