select all checkboxes command jquery, javascript

Question

I\'m trying to get all of my checkboxes to be checked when clicking a link

looks like this: sele

Answer 1

You're going to want to use the [name^=delete] selector ("starts with"), since your checkboxes names aren't exactly "delete", they're "delete[X]' for some number X.

Answer 2

Try the following.

Updated. The handler is tied to an anchor therefore there will be no this.checked attribute available.

$("#select_all").click(function(){
    $("input[name^=delete]").attr('checked',  'checked');  
});
