[Tom Melendez]

Hi Mike,

It's possible that you are asking the question of, "Does QF have 
something built-in for this, or is there a 'Quickform' way of doing 
this?".  I use QF and am not familar with their way of handling this.  
Instead, I just output a general javascript function that takes the name 
of the checkbox array and whether to turn them all on or off.  Since the 
function is general, it doesn't care if there is one, or 1000.  The html 
for the selectall/clearall links and the extra javascript I just add to 
the form with the 'html' element:

$form->addElement('html',$myhtmlstring);

If anyone knows a better way, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Tom
