RE: [PHP] 'Select All'

you _can_ reference it by name - try this: <script> function my_select(type) { frm = document.forms.test; ele = frm["mycheckbox[]"]; len = ele.length; for (i = 0; i < len; i++) ele[i].checked = type; } </script> <form name="test"> <input type="button" value="All" onClick="my_select(true);"> <input type="button" value="None" onClick="my_select(false);"> <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]"> <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]"> <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]"> <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]"> </form> Martin -----Original Message----- From: Shane Wright [mailto:me@shanewright.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 4:55 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] 'Select All' Hi I'm having somewhat of a problem :( I have my banks of checkboxes, all named 'mycheckbox[]' with the values as different IDs. The user happily checks a few of them and my scripts happily process the resulting arrays. But... how do I get Javascript to do a 'select all' on them?? I cant access them by name because of the square brackets, and I cant access them by going through all form elements in case there are other checkboxes that dont want to be included. Is there a tidy way around this, does any of the above make sense?
