check checkboxes in a group.

[garry1]

I have a query which gets the following values - company names and emp names. I display the results grouping on a company name.

<cfoutput query="emp" group="company_name">
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="#company_name#">#company_name#
<cfoutput>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="#employee_name#">#employee_name#
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>

I have a select all button which checks all the checkboxes on a form.

My problem is if a group check box is checked how do I check the values in that group only.

For example if user checks company A checkbox than all the checkboxs of company A employees should be checked.

Thanks.

I asked a similar question a year or so ago, and here's a modified version of the answer I got...

<cfoutput query="emp" group="company_name"> 
   <cfset chknow="">
   <cfset chktime=randrange(1,10000)>
   <input type="checkbox" name="check"   value="#company_name#" oncheck="CA#chktime#()">#company_name#
  <cfoutput>
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox"   value="#employee_name#">#employee_name#
    <cfset chknow = listappend(chknow,employee_name)>
  </cfoutput>
  <script>
    <!--
      function CA#chkTime#(){
       for(i=0;i<document.myForm.atype.length;i++)
       {
        var myList = "#chknow#";
        var listArray = myList.split(",");

        for(j=0;j<listArray.length;j++){
         if(document.myForm.atype[i].value == listArray[j]){
          document.myForm.atype[i].checked = true;
          break;
         }
        }
       }
      }
    -->
  </script>
</cfoutput>

Thankyou webmigit.

The check part works. How do I uncheck the child checkboxes when the group checkbox is unchecked.

I am using the same checkbox for check and uncheck.

Take the script to the js forum forum216 and ask them how to mod it so that clicking the parent box while checked will uncheck all child boxes.
