checking a checkbox

[Andy Lee]

Hi

I am trying to find a way of checking a checkbox in Javascript based on its
value and not its index.

ie document.form1.checkbox['name'].checked = true

or can it only be done with the index ?
Thanks

No, but there isn't a checkbox collection, just a general element
collection.
