    I need help in the placement of the script below. I know absolutely nothing about javascript, so please explain in simple and easy to understand language where this would be place.

    :confused:

    <BODY OnLoad="clearAll()";>

    <FORM NAME=form1 METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.my domainname.com/cgi-bin/cart.pl">
    ...
    </FORM>

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function clearAll()
    {
    document.form1.multi-item1.checked = false;
    document.form1.multi-item2.checked = false;
    document.form1.multi-item3.checked = false;
    }
    </SCRIPT>

    uhhh, it should be between the header tags. also the 'language' property is depreciated in favor of 'type'.

    example...

    
<!DOCTYPE......>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>my website</title>
      <meta...../>
      <script type="text/javascript">
         function clear_all()
         {
             document.form1.multi-item1.checked = false; // assuming that this is correct 
             document.form1.multi-item2.checked = false;
             document.form1.multi-item3.checked = false;
         }
      </script>
   </head>
   <body onload="clear_all();">
      <form action.....>
         <input...... />
      </form>
   </body>
</html>
    Code (markup):

    hope this helps you out some.

    Hmm.. It think its ok if you place it in the body section also.
    And ansi is right about the language attribute. You should use the type attribute.
