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

// 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. I can get
// this script to work by adding '[]' to 'broker' The reason
// for each name
// being the same and not using the '[]' is because I want to
// be able to use a
// javascript that selects all boxes. Is there a way to do
// this. Or better yet,
// does anyone have a jscript that will work with the [] characters?
//
// Thanks
