Hi All

I have a page (no form) with a series of check boxes, I have 2 functions to select / deselect all.

Here is one of the functions
function doSelectAll()
{
  var el = document.all;
    for (var i=0; i < el.length; i++)
    {
        if (el[i].type == 'checkbox')
        {
           el[i].checked = true;
        }
     }
}

All the checkboxes are in a table in a div, I also have other checkboxes on the page that I don't want to select.

How do I modify my script to only act on the div or table, and not the whole page. I know the problem is with my document.all but cant figure how to limit it.

Thanks

Hii Aware!!

you can use el[i].name=="urchkboxgrpname"
 el[i].id=="urchkboxgrpname"
so that only checkboxes with particular group can be checked or unchecked

Hope this will help you

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

I cannot use Name as the checkboxes are named - Check & ' Database driven ID'

How do you place a set of checkboxes in a group, I thought that was for radio buttons.

Hii Aware!!
Then you can compare the name of checkbox with indexOf("Check")

e.g
ur database driven checkboxes are
 Check123
 Check456

now
 varcheckbox=el[i].name
 if(varcheckbox.indexOf("Check")!=-1)
 {
//this checkbox is not related to Check123 ,Check 456
 }
else{
//this checkbox is related to Check123 ,Check 456
}

hope this will help you

Cheers :)
