Javascript/checkbox problem

Hi All

I have a Javascript problem in a search application.

On my page I've three checkbox-groups with several cb in each.

cb All

cb 1

cb 2

cb 3

cb 4

cb 5

And to set if the cb should be checked or not, I've two scrpits, one

to check or uncheck cb 1 - 5 if "All" is checked or not, and one to

uncheck "All" if one of cb 1-5 is unchecked. But I can´t get the scripts

to uncheck the cb. It seems as the "oCheckBox.checked = true; " doesn't

work. I've tried with "oCheckBox.clicked()" and it changes the state of

the cb, but then i get an onClick event and ends up with one script called

after the first one is done. In script two the "oAllBox.clicked()" will

then call script one, and the state of the cb would be changed.

The code as follow:

For each cb the setOnClientClick lokks like this.

checkBox.setOnClientClick("javascript:" + strCheckAllJavaScriptName + "();");

checkBox.setOnClientClick("javascript:" + strCheckOtherJavaScriptName + "('"+ strCheckBoxId + "');");

The JavaScripts

StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer("");

buffer.append("");

HTMLFragment htmlJavaScript = new HTMLFragment(buffer.toString());
layoutCell.addComponent(htmlJavaScript);


StringBuffer buffer2 = new StringBuffer("");
buffer2.append("");

HTMLFragment htmlJavaScript2 = new HTMLFragment(buffer2.toString());
layoutCell.addComponent(htmlJavaScript2);


And in the browsercode i looks like this:

var oAllBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_1');
if (oAllBox.checked == true) {
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_2');
if (oCheckBox.checked == false) {
oCheckBox.checked = true;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_3');
if (oCheckBox.checked == false) {
oCheckBox.checked = true;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_4');
if (oCheckBox.checked == false) {
oCheckBox.checked = true;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_5');
if (oCheckBox.checked == false) {
oCheckBox.checked = true;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_6');
if (oCheckBox.checked == false) {
oCheckBox.checked = true;
}
} else {
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_2');
if (oCheckBox.checked == true) {
oCheckBox.checked = false;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_3');
if (oCheckBox.checked == true) {
oCheckBox.checked = false;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_4');
if (oCheckBox.checked == true) {
oCheckBox.checked = false;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_5');
if (oCheckBox.checked == true) {
oCheckBox.checked = false;
}
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_6');
if (oCheckBox.checked == true) {
oCheckBox.checked = false;
}
}
}


var cbID = strCheckBoxId;
var oCheckBox = document.getElementById(cbID);
if (oCheckBox.checked == false) {
var oAllBox = document.getElementById('htmlb_269_0_1');
if (oAllBox.checked == true) {
oAllBox.checked = false;
}
}
}

Any ideas or suggestion would be appreciated

Best regards

Thanks Frederic

I've had a lot of other things on my desk, and haven't

had time to work with this problem before yesterday.
