If the select boxes and the checkbox are in the same form,
you can loop through the elements of the form to find all
of the select boxes. I've exceeded your specs by also
preventing the user from changing the select values while
the box is checked:
<html>
<head>
<title>Select Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setSelectsToB(box) {
var control=box.form.elements;
for (var i=0;i<control.length;i++) {
if (control[i].type.match(/select/i)) {
if (box.checked) control[i].selectedIndex=1;
control[i].disabled=box.checked;
}
}
}
</script>
<body>
<form>
<select name="alpha"><option>a</option><option>b</option></select><br>
<select name="beta"><option>a</option><option>b</option></select><br>
<select name="gamma"><option>a</option><option>b</option></select><br>
Force to b<input type="checkbox" onclick="setSelectsToB(this)">
</form>
</body>
</html>
