after a page has loaded, document.write() REPLACES the contents of the document. Probably not what you want to do.

Try instead document.getElementById('myDiv').innerHTML = 'added stuff';

could get it to work..could you help please?

The "this" in toggle_checkboxes(this); will reference the <A> and not the form  like you want it to. But that's ok. You can just change the text of your anchor rather than replace the innerHTML of the div.

You're very close though.
Replace :
[code]var elements = the_form.parentNode.elements;[/code]
With:
[code] var elements =  document.getElementById('edit_remove').getElementsByTagName('INPUT');[/code]

that hasnt made it work either...
the problem is displaying this:
[code]
document.getElementById('toggle_checkboxes').innerHTML = "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"toggle_checkboxes(this);\">Unselect all</a>"
[/code]

it wont display Unselect all

Not what I meant.

[code]
<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"toggle_checkboxes(this);\">Unselect all</a>
[/code]

[code]
function toggle_checkboxes(ancObj) {
  ancObj.textContent = 'Select All';
}
[/code]
