set checkbox

[Ben Dover - Mental Patient 0057]

i'm having trouble setting a checkbox to checked and unchecked

I want to have a form where you click a button. onclick would call a
function that
checks a checkbox on the form.


in the head:
function clearItem(thisO ne){
var fset = document.getEle mentById(thisOn e);
var inputs = fset.getElement sByTagName("inp ut");
for (var i = 0; i<inputs.length ; i++)
inputs.item(i). value="checked" ;
document.up_dat a.att3.checked( )=(true);
}


in the body:
<form action="maint.p l" method="POST" name="up_data">


<input type="button" name="xxclrFiel d_fnct1" value="clear"
onclick='clearI tem("clrField_f nct1")'>
<input type="checkbox" name="att3">

<fieldset id="clrField_fn ct1">
<input type="text" size=30 name="stu1" value="">
<input type="text" size=30 name="frm1" value="">

</fieldset>
</form>

Re: set checkbox

Almost there.

I think try:
document.up_dat a.att3.checked= true;

instead of what you haveat the moment :
document.up_dat a.att3.checked( )=(true);
