[SOLVED] Quick help - Select all check boxes

[hinchcliffe]

Hi, there I have a script that I need to change up a bit. So what I want it to do is select all boxes at once when the select button is clicked.

I have a code that will do that but I now need to change my name from name="list" to name="list[]" and it's messing up the rest of the script. Can some one tell me the right code so I can use name="list[]"? Thanks.

Here is my code...

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
var checkflag = "false";
function check(field) {
if (checkflag == "false") {
for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
field[i].checked = true;}
checkflag = "true";
return "Uncheck All"; }
else {
for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
field[i].checked = false; }
checkflag = "false";
return "Check All"; }
}
//  End -->
</script>			
		<?php
			// Connect to DataBase
			include 'includes/dbconnect.php';


				// Query database
				$query = "SELECT * FROM mail";
				$rs = mysql_query($query);
					echo 'Subscription List <br /><br />';
					echo "<form name=\"myform\" action=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "\" method=\"post\">" . "<br />";
						while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs))
							{
								echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"list[]\" value=\"" .$row['email']. "\" >" . " <a href=\"mailto:" . $row['email'] . "\">" . $row['email'] . "</a><br />";
							}	

// If summit button clicked do this!!
if($_POST['submit'])
	{

		foreach($_POST['list'] AS $email){ 
		echo $email . ";  " ; 
		}
	}


		?>

<br />
<input type=button value="Check All" onClick="this.value=check(this.form.list)">

 

Thanks

I wrote a quick lil function in firebug that does it

 

function checkBoxes(){
    var cb = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    for(i in cb){
        if(cb[i].type == 'checkbox') cb[i].checked = true;
    }
}

checkBoxes();

Sorry, I'm very bad with javascript, How would I implement that with my code? Thanks for helping - Justin.

change

 

<input type=button value="Check All" onClick="this.value=check(this.form.list)">

 

to

 

<input type=button value="Check All" onClick="checkBoxes();">
