javascript checkall not working

I am trying to get a checkall/uncheckall working for my form with javascript on an apache web server. I know I am doing something wrong and can not get the proper syntax for the javascript to work.

thanks for the help.

Here you're passing variable "v" to function Val() which doesn't exist in the script.

document.f1.seq23923.checked=val(v);

document.f1.seq23925.checked=val(v);

document.f1.seq23938.checked=val(v);

I'm not sure what the script is supposed to do when it works properly. Could you provide more information?

One thing to note is that to make a checkbox checked by default, use check="checked" within the input element.

There's no need to pass the All Not Checked and All Checked input elements because you're not testing for them. Just get what you want to modify, not what's doing the modifying.

You also might consider making the All Not Checked and All Checked boxes radio buttons, since it only makes since for only one to be checked at a time.

Good luck!

WOW! I was wondering why everybody was put loops for the checkall stuff. I though I did not want a loop, because my values for the checkboxes where large and getting larger. I did an alert to look at some of the variables and then it clicked.

Thanks,
