Select All Check boxes Not working

[samvb]

Hi,
I am using checkboxes for the user to select at once. The form is passed back to PHP and is processed. The processig is done very good but select all is not working at all. The checkboxes are formed in this way:

<name="chks[]" value="1">

the javascript works fine (but php does not) if i do it like this:

<name="chks" value="1">

how can i come around this problem?

@samvb
can you elaborate the problem a bit more, this would make understanding easier.

Why not give the checkboxes a class, and use javascript's getElementsByClassName() and then set the checkboxs' checked attribute.

<input type="checkbox" name="boxes[]" class="boxes" />

Your beloved IE is in bad relationships with JavaScript!

@samvb
I wonder what kind of new markup is this!

Did you try something like this?

<input 
    type="checkbox"
    onclick="
        var ee = getElementsByName('ee[]');
        for (var i=0; i<ee.length; i++)
        ee[i].checked = this.checked;"
 />Select All<br />
<input
     type="checkbox"
     name="ee[]"
     value="1"
/>1<br />
<input
     type="checkbox"
     name="ee[]"
     value="2"
/>2<br />
