Thanks. I still don't have something quite right because this isn't working. I've added the class property to each of my event checkboxes.
<script type="text/javascript"> //check all checkbox just for the events $(document).ready(function() { $('#toggleEvents').click( function() { $(':checkbox.chkEvent').each(function() { var el = $(this); el.attr('checked', el.is(':checked') ? '' : 'checked'); }) }); }); </script> On Jun 30, 12:58 pm, Eric Garside <gars...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there a particular reason you couldn't use classes to do this? > Instead of the markup you provided, something like: > > <input type="checkbox" value="EventAcceleratedOptionVesting" > id="chkEventAcceleratedOptionVesting" class="chkEvent" /> > <input type="checkbox" value="AccountingChanges" > id="chkEventAccountingChanges" class="chkEvent" /> > > Then: > > // Use the :checkbox instead of the old method you're using > $(':checkbox.chkEvent').each(funciton(){ > var el = $(this); > el.attr('checked', el.is(':checked') ?
