Your HTML code is invalid in a few ways. From a quick glimpse, you have divs
inside tr's and the form element as a direct descendant of table. The latter
especially causes some trouble. At least Safari automatically closes the form
element and thus the checkboxes won't fall within the form. Thus your code
below can't possibly work.
Here's a quick script that seemed to work (at least in Safari console) with
your example page:
$('toggle_all').observe('click', function(ev) {
var self = this;
$$('input[type=checkbox]').without(this).each(function(el) {
el.checked = self.checked;
});
});
You probably want to modify the selector to be more precise and maybe make the
whole function more generic, though.
