Check Box - Remove All Selected Items

[sean04]

I have say about 7 different interests and beside each interest I want a check box. How would I go about having multiple check boxes checked so I can remove however many interests at one time...

 

For example:

 

[Checked] Hockey

                Soccer

                Baseball

[Checked] Basketball

 

And the remove all selected button would remove the checked interests.

 

Thanks,

Sean

There's numerous javascript implementations of this.  If you google for something like "javascript check multiple checkboxes" you'll see quite a few.

 

If you want specific advice on how to implement it for your page, I think we would need to see the html you are using.

Why would you need to use Javascript for this? It's simply just using

 

<input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="hockey">

 

for all interests.

 

<form method="post">
    <input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="hockey" />Hockey<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="soccer" />Soccer<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="baseball" />Baseball<br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="basketball" />Basketball<br />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Delete Selected Interested" />
</form>
<?php
if($_POST['submit']){
    $interests = $_POST['interest'];
    if(count($interests) > 0){
        foreach($interests AS $interest){
            $sql = "DELETE FROM `interests` WHERE `interest`='".mysql_real_escape_string($interest)."'";
            $res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
            echo htmlentities($interest) . " has been removed!";
        }
    }
}
?>

 

Obviously other security measures could be implemented.
