    Hello, hoping an javascript guru can can help..

        for(var i=0;i<form.elements.length;i++){
                var e = form.elements[i];
                if (e.name == 'checkme[]'){
                        e.checked = form.chkall.checked;
                }
        }
}
    PHP:
    the form...
    
print "<form...>";
print "<input name='chkall' type='checkbox' onclick='CheckAll(this.form);'> Select All";
$i=0;
loop...
print "<input type='checkbox' name='checkme[$i]' value='on' />";
end loop...
print "</form>";
    PHP:
    The javascript function looks to find all occurrences of the checkbox name 'checkme[]' but the problem is the form checkbox name is dynamic 'checkme[$i]'

    My question is how can I adjust this line to match the dynamic checkbox name 'checkme[$i]' 

    if (e.name == 'checkme[]')
    PHP:

    Hi,

    as $i is digit, you could use if ( (/^checkme\[[\d]+\]$/).test(e.name) )
