Re: Javascript problem with checkboxes

hey,
i think your problem has to do with using numbers as names in your form.
try changing the names from e.g  name = "7" to something like
 name = x7.
then your loop should work like this:

function clearBoxes(start,end)
{
var i;
for (i=start; i<=end; ++i)
   { 
 
      document.QuestionnaireOne["x" + i].checked = false;
  
   } // end loop

} // end

hopefully this works.
good luck
adrian.
