I was hoping someone might be able to help me learn how to script a little bit more efficiency.
I have a subform with ten check boxes contained in it. I also have a seperate button. What I want to do is when the button is clicked all the fillcolours of the checkboxes changed. I can do this by just writing a line of script in the button for each check box but is there a more efficient way to do this?
There are more generic ways of doing this ....like getting a list of objects on the page or subform and cycling through each object one by one and setting a property but ultimately you are accessing each object one by one and changing it. The method I mention can be made into a function and has the advantage of dealing with few or many objects. I have included a sample that locks all fields in a given container (in this case it is the entire form, but you can pass in a subform name and only that subform woudl be locked). It is not exactly what you want but it shodul give you the idea.

The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==> liqladmin("SELECT id, value FROM metrics WHERE id = 'net_accepted_solutions' and user.id = '${acceptedAnswer.author.id}'").data.items [in template "analytics-container" at line 83, column 41]

Tip: It's the step after the last dot that caused this error, not those before it.
----
Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??
