don't your checkboxes act like radio buttons when you check them if they all have the same name? i would do something like <form name="mail_boxes" action="" method=""> <?php // How ever many checkboxes you want $number_of_checkboxes = 5; for ( $this_check = 0; $this_check < $number_of_checkboxes; $this_check++ ) { echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"broker:" . $this_check . "\" value=\"$this_check\">\n"; } ?> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function check_all( num_boxes ) { for ( this_box = 0; this_box <= num_boxes; this_box++ ) document.mail_boxes['broker:' + this_box].checked = true; } // --> </script> <input type="button" name="checkall" value="Select All" onClick="javscript:check_all(<?php $numberof_checkboxes ?>);"> That's all completely untested, but it might work :P // -----Original Message----- // From: olinux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] // Sent: Tuesday, 10 July 2001 7:43 AM // To: php-db // Subject: [PHP-DB] parsing checkbox array without [] and selecting all // boxes // // // Hey all, // // The end result of all of this should be similar to an online // email client // like hotmal, or yahoo where you can select a number of // messages to be // deleted. // // I have a form that when generated, the html looks similar to this: // // =================================== // // <input type="checkbox" name="broker" value="1"> // <input type="checkbox" name="broker" value="2"> // <input type="checkbox" name="broker" value="3"> // <input type="checkbox" name="broker" value="4"> // <input type="checkbox" name="broker" value="5"> // // <input type=button value="Check All" // onClick="this.value=check(this.form.broker)"> // // =================================== // // I am trying to create a script that will delete each checked // box.
