going back to the OP there is an easy method to get "starts with", and
it is not necessary use each() or if to check them$("input[id^='chkEvent']").attr("checked","checked");this will check *all * starting with ID = chkEvent evanbu...@gmail.com wrote: 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 = $(this); el.attr('checked', el.is(':checked') ? '' : 'checked'); }) Would do what you're asking. If you insist on doing it with the IDs, you can always just substr: if ($(this).attr('id').substr(0, 8) == 'chkEvent') ... But this method is far less efficient, and you'll be double-looping through the tree section (once for jQuery to build an indiscriminate collection of the nodes, then once again by your code to discriminate the nodes and apply the check/uncheck effect) On Jun 30, 12:38 pm, "evanbu...@gmail.com" <evanbu...@gmail.com> wrote:I want to check all of my checkboxes in my form that have an id that begins with 'chkEvent'.
