How to clear checkboxes?

[Bill S.]

Hi,

I have a form that is generated by an ASP page,
and I want to write a client-side function in
JavaScript to clear all the checkboxes in a form.

The problem is that the number of items on the form
depends on records in a database, and all the checkboxes
have the same name, ie:

<form name="myForm" method="post" action="MyPage.asp">

Is there another way to do this in JavaScript?

Another way? You have not even shown your way.

Anyway elements of the same name create a collection.
You can iterate this collection:

var c = document.forms[...].elements["..."];
if (c)
{
for (var i = 0; i < c.length; i++)
{
c.checked = false;
}
}
