I have a check box that is positioned above many other boxes on a sheet. I want that check box to serve as a "check all" by checking all the boxes beneath it when it is selected. I am sure there is a script for this but I am not familiar.

Thanks!

Try this:

var suffix=/(\w+_)D$/.exec(this.name)[1];
var i=1;
while (xfa.resolveNode(suffix+i)!=null){
          xfa.resolveNode(suffix+i).rawValue=this.rawValue;
          i++;
}

Try this:

for (var a=0;a<YourSubform.nodes.length;a++){
          vNode=YourSubform.nodes.item(a);
          if (vNode.className=="field" && 
                    vNode.ui.oneOfChild.className=="checkButton" &&
                    vNode.parent.className!="exclGroup"){
                    vNode.rawValue=this.rawValue;
          }
}

Where 'YourSubform' is the name of the subform with the checkboxes. Also, all On/Off values under the Binding tab must be the same.

Can you include an image of the form that this was being used in? Not sure what is part of the script and what is unique to the form it was used in

This is how I want it to work where if any of the top boxes are checked, then the boxes directly beneath them will be checked as well. My binding names are ASSAY_D for the top "assay box" and ASSAY_1 beneath it and ASSAY_2 beneath that, etc.

Are all the checkboxes under the same subform?

Yep

Put this in the change event (JavaScript) of all your 'Check All' boxes:

var suffix=/[^_]+/.exec(this.name);
var i=1;
while (xfa.resolveNode(suffix+"_"+i)!=null){
          xfa.resolveNode(suffix+"_"+i).rawValue=this.rawValue;
          i++;
}

Cool that worked, kinda. I got the following result

So, as you can see, it worked for two full comlumns and almost a full column for the third. However, 3 of them did not work at all. the binding names for the ones that did not work are THN_SEC_1, THN_SEC_2, etc. I have a feeling that the underscore in the binding name messed it up. I can remove the underscores but I would prefer not to. Any other way?

Do all the top checkboxes end with _D ?

Yep

Try this:

var suffix=/(\w+_)D$/.exec(this.name)[1];
var i=1;
while (xfa.resolveNode(suffix+i)!=null){
          xfa.resolveNode(suffix+i).rawValue=this.rawValue;
          i++;
}

What if I want to continue onto the next page with this script. As in...

Can I remove the "Check All"s from the second page and have the script from the first continue to these check boxes somehow? This is asking alot but you have been so helpful so far. They have continued suffix (as in page 1 ends with ASSAY_13 and page 2 starts with ASSAY_14)

Try this on for size:

var vNodes=this.parent.parent.resolveNodes('#subform[*].#field.(this.name.substr(0,this.name.length-1)=="'+this.name.substr(0,this.name.length-1)+'")');
for (var a=0;a<vNodes.length;a++)
          vNodes.item(a).rawValue=this.rawValue;

That one only filled down 9 boxes

dcidev · 4/16/14

Say Yes to the JavaScript

var vNodes=this.parent.parent.resolveNodes('#subform[*].#field.(this.name.indexOf("'+this.name.substr(0,this.name.length-1)+'")!=-1)');
for (var a=0;a<vNodes.length;a++)
          vNodes.item(a).rawValue=this.rawValue;

You are a wizard. Thanks so much

I would also like to have one box that adds up the values of multiple boxes on multiple pages. The boxes to be added have the binding name INTVL_1, INTVL_2, INTVL_3, etc.

On a side note, where do you learn scripting like this?
