Hi all,

I am new to this forum and hope someone can direct me a little..

I have a checkbox that needs to be checked/unchecked under the following rules..

if any checkboxes with id like "REQ_ACCT_LAB_" are checked, then check it
if all of the checkboxes with id like "REQ_ACCT_LAB_" are unchecked, then uncheck it.

Is there a better way of doing this?

heres my code:

			if ($("input[name^=REQ_ACCT_LAB_]").is(":checked")) 
			{ 
				$("input[name=MY_CHK]").attr("checked","checked"); 
			} 
			else 
			{ 
				$("input[name=MY_CHK]").attr("checked",""); 
			} 
			

Thanks!

There isn't much you can do here - except maybe trim down your selector a bit:

var new_state = '';
if($("input[name^=REQ_ACCT_LAB_]:checked")) {
    new_state = 'checked';
}
$("input[name=MY_CHK]").attr("checked",new_state);
