Ok, the <form> element was indeed OUTSIDE the table. I moved it
inside - it still doesn't work. It alerts me 3 as the length of the
form which is correct at load - 2 checkboxes and a button - but
that's all it ever gives me, so it still seems its not seeing the
added stuff...here is the table:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
id="mydocs">
<form id="seldocsform" name="seldocsform" action="" method="">
<tr bgcolor="#666666">
<td width="16">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="16"><input type="checkbox" id="all" class="checkbox"
onclick="checkAllBoxes(this.form)" /></td>
<td colspan="2"><input type="button" name="delete" value="Delete"
class="button" onmouseover="this.style.background = '#cc0000'"
onmouseout="this.style.background = '#ff6600'" title="Delete all
checked physicians" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="16"><img src="view.gif" width="14" height="14" alt=""
/></td>
<td width="16"><input type="checkbox" id="fern"
class="checkbox"></td>
<td><label for="fern">Fernandez, Carlos</label></td>
<td>Neptune, NJ</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
