you _can_ reference it by name - try this:
<script>
function my_select(type)
{
frm = document.forms.test;
ele = frm["mycheckbox[]"];
len = ele.length;
for (i = 0; i < len; i++)
ele[i].checked = type;
}
</script>
<form name="test">
<input type="button" value="All" onClick="my_select(true);">
<input type="button" value="None" onClick="my_select(false);">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]">
</form>

Subject: [PHP] 'Select All'
Hi
I'm having somewhat of a problem :(
I have my banks of checkboxes, all named 'mycheckbox[]' with the values as
different IDs. The user happily checks a few of them and my scripts happily
process the resulting arrays.
But... how do I get Javascript to do a 'select all' on them?? I cant
access
them by name because of the square brackets, and I cant access them by going
through all form elements in case there are other checkboxes that dont want
to be included.
Is there a tidy way around this, does any of the above make sense?
Thanks
