I have this function

<html><head><script type="text/javascript">
 
            function CheckAll() {
 
            var i;
 
            //Check all or Uncheck all awards...
            for ( i in ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type ) {   
            if ( ListRecordForm.on_or_off.value == "on" ) //turn them off       
                ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type[i].checked = false;
            else  //turn them off
                ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type[i].checked = true;
            }

// Use a hidden form element w/name of on_or_off
        //    to keep track of whether all are currently checked
        //    or all are currently unchecked... 
            if (ListRecordForm.on_or_off.value == "on") 
                ListRecordForm.on_or_off.value = "off";
            else 
                ListRecordForm.on_or_off.value = "on";                        
            }
</script></head><body>
<form name="ListRecordForm">
           <fieldset><legend> select award types to search by</legend><p>
           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="DECSCheck"/><label>Type 1</label>
           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="MCSCheck"/><label>Type 2</label>
           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="SCSCheck"/><label>Type 3</label>

           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="ParticipationCheck"/><label>Type 7</label>
           
           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="QSICheck"/><label>Type 8</label>
           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="PerformanceCheck"/><label>Type 9</label>
           <input type="checkbox" name="p_search_type" value="SACheck"/><label>Special Type 10</label>
           
           <a href="javascript:CheckAll();"><font color="red">Check All</font></a><label></label>
           <input type="hidden" name="on_or_off" value="off">
           </fieldset>
</form>
 
</body></html>

It is suppose to �check all� check boxes when the link is selected but it isn�t working in IE (or FF but IE is what I am trying for). I tried using FF error console but I don�t get any errors�I know the name of the checkboxes are all the same but that is needed for other functionality.
Any ideas on what could be the cause?

Thanks

Do not check for the value of on/off, look at the check state of the checkbox.

OK-I tried that it makes the code cleaner but it still fails to function...
[code]

function CheckAll() {

var i;
//Check all or Uncheck all awards...
for ( i in ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type ) {
if ( ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type[i].checked ) //turn them off
ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type[i].checked = false;
else //turn them off
ListRecordForm.p_search_award_type[i].checked = true;
}

}
[code]
