Here is a backbone.js implementation:

events: {
    "click #toggleChecked" : "toggleChecked"
},
toggleChecked: function(event) {

    var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName('options');
    for(var i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++) {
        checkboxes[i].checked = event.currentTarget.checked;
    }

},

Simple and to the POINT:

jQuery - Upon Clicking a button or div or a label element. Check off all checkboxes on the page. Keep in mind you'll have to adjust :checkbox to make it more specific.

jQuery("#My-Button").click(function() {

  jQuery(':checkbox').each(function() {
    if(this.checked == true) {
      this.checked = false;                        
    } else {
      this.checked = true;                        
    }      
  });

});

Below methods are very Easy to understand and you can implement existing forms in minutes

With Jquery,

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#check-all').click(function(){
    $("input:checkbox").attr('checked', true);
  });
  $('#uncheck-all').click(function(){
    $("input:checkbox").attr('checked', false);
  });
});

in HTML form put below buttons

<a id="check-all" href="javascript:void(0);">check all</a>
<a id="uncheck-all" href="javascript:void(0);">uncheck all</a> 

With just using javascript,

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkAll(formname, checktoggle)
{
  var checkboxes = new Array(); 
  checkboxes = document[formname].getElementsByTagName('input');

  for (var i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++)  {
    if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox')   {
      checkboxes[i].checked = checktoggle;
    }
  }
}
</script>

in HTML form put below buttons

<button onclick="javascript:checkAll('form3', true);" href="javascript:void();">check all</button>

<button onclick="javascript:checkAll('form3', false);" href="javascript:void();">uncheck all</button>

1: Add the onchange event Handler

<th><INPUT type="checkbox" onchange="checkAll(this)" name="chk[]" /> </th>

2: Modify the code to handle checked/unchecked

 function checkAll(ele) {
     var checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
     if (ele.checked) {
         for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
             if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                 checkboxes[i].checked = true;
             }
         }
     } else {
         for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
             console.log(i)
             if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                 checkboxes[i].checked = false;
             }
         }
     }
 }

Answer 5

to make it in short-hand version by using jQuery

The select all checkbox

<input type="checkbox" id="chkSelectAll">

The children checkbox

<input type="checkbox" class="chkDel">
<input type="checkbox" class="chkDel">
<input type="checkbox" class="chkDel">

jQuery

$("#chkSelectAll").on('click', function(){
     this.checked ? $(".chkDel").prop("checked",true) : $(".chkDel").prop("checked",false);  
})

Try this simple JQuery:

$('#select-all').click(function(event) {
  if (this.checked) {
    $(':checkbox').prop('checked', true);
  } else {
    $(':checkbox').prop('checked', false);
  }
});
