Re: Javascript select and unselect all checkboxes not working in Perl CGI code

[soonix]

Your javascript uses a name to access the form (which you provide), but in your call to start_form you don't give it a name.

Thanks soonix for your reply. I updated that section of code as follows from examples I've seen:

start_form(-name=>'forms'),

However, code still not working. Do you know correct syntax? Searching but haven't found anything PERL CGI related matching exactly call for code below:

my $JSCRIPT=<<EOF;
function selectToggle(toggle, form) {
     var myForm = document.forms[form];
     for( var i=0; i < myForm.length; i++ ) { 
          if(toggle) {
               myForm.elements[i].checked = "checked";
          } 
          else {
               myForm.elements[i].checked = "";
          }
     }
}
EOF

Any other ideas or suggestions?

The name should be 'theForm' as in the links

print a( { href => "javascript:selectToggle(true, 'theForm');" }, "All
+" );
        print " | ";
        print a( { href => "javascript:selectToggle(false, 'theForm');
+" }, "None" );

or change the links

Thanks Soonix, code to call form below now allows selecting all or none for all checkboxes. I owe you a beer :)

start_form(-name=>'theForm'),
