I'm setting up a Javascript that checks or unchecks all. The script I have looks for all the form elements with the same name. So I want my checkboxes to end up in html like this:

<input id="chkBox1" type="checkbox" name="chkBoxes" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox1')" />
<input id="chkBox2" type="checkbox" name="chkBoxes" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox2')" />
<input id="chkBox3" type="checkbox" name="chkBoxes" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox3')" />

However, I keep getting:

<input id="chkBox1" type="checkbox" name="chkBox1" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox1')" />
<input id="chkBox2" type="checkbox" name="chkBox2" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox2')" />
<input id="chkBox3" type="checkbox" name="chkBox3" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox3')" />

The name attribute is the same as the id. In the code behind I've added

chkBox.Attribute["name"] = "chkboxes";

which produced:

<SPAN Name="chkboxes">
<input id="chkBox1" type="checkbox" name="chkBox1" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox1')" /></SPAN>
<input id="chkBox2" type="checkbox" name="chkBox2" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox2')" /></SPAN>
<input id="chkBox3" type="checkbox" name="chkBox3" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox3')" /></SPAN>

I tried:

chkBox.Attribute["name"].Replace(chkBox.ID, "chkBoxes);

which didn't render the page at all.

How do I get the name attribute to change?

Why would you want the id and name different? these should be the same, shouldnt they?


Anyhow if I want to produce checkboxes dynamicly that have unique names I do the following (this assumes you have a record set called rs):
<%
dim count
count = 1
if not rs.Eof then
   do until rs.Eof %>
      <input type="checkbox" name="chkBox<%= count %>" onclick="checkOrUncheck('chkBox<%= count %>')"
<% rs.moveNext
      count = count + 1
   loop
else
   'no records
end if
%>
