PHP and javascript

[peteraub]

I have a script which loops through the fields of a table and creates a check box for each field. This is so the user can check whatever field they want to be included in a report.

I want to have a button that checks all fields so user doesn't have to do them all manually. I have looked at various javascripts but find some difficulty as it usually requires each check box to use the same name to work properly.

If I use the same name for each checkbox then I won't be able to get all values for the sql statement which is generated by the loop.

Can anyone help me with a script or point me to somewhere on the net which would have the solution to my problem.

Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

you have two ways. First you address the check-box by the id:

function listselect(ind)
{
if ((check = document.getElementsByTagName("input")[ind]) == 'undefined') {
return false;
}
check.checked = true;
return true;
}
Here you can run a for-loop to check all id's that you want to check

or you create an array with the names of the checkboxes and check them with a for-loop.

Hope this helps.
