[thelist] JavaScript: check all boxes within a table

I'm actually trying to avoid this, because it makes coding on the
receiving end of the form process more complicated. i.e., instead of
running through an array and handling each key/value, I'd have to run
through an array for each individual table. That would work nicely,
though, for the 'checkall' part, wouldn't it?

I am pretty sure I could not make this work, since there will be a
variable number of checkboxes, and I never know what the range of
indexes might be. I was kind of hoping there would be some gee whiz
method for identifying the contents of a table by id or something. Any
such luck?

Thanks,
