[thelist] form array, getting length of type of control

[Cymbala, Greg]

Try this:

for (var i = 0; i < document.myForm.elements.length; i++)
{
  if (ddocument.myForm.elements[i].type == "checkbox")
    document.writeln(document.myForm.elements[i].name + " is a checkbox.");
}

I'm trying to basically check or uncheck all the checkboxes in a form. I
want to use the elements array to find the length of how many there are so I
can iterate through them.

I cant' quite find the syntax. Danny Goodman says you can use the type to
loop through all elements in a form, but he doesn't provide an example
(strangely enough).

I was trying something like this

var length = myForm.elements["checkbox"].length;

but that is not correct. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Tom
