HTML checkbox onclick called in Javascript

Solution 1:

How about putting the checkbox into the label, making the label automatically "click sensitive" for the check box, and giving the checkbox a onchange event?

<label ..... ><input type="checkbox" onchange="toggleCheckbox(this)" .....> 

function toggleCheckbox(element)
 {
   element.checked = !element.checked;
 }

This will additionally catch users using a keyboard to toggle the check box, something onclick would not.

Solution 2:

Label without an onclick will behave as you would expect. It changes the input. What you relly want is to execute selectAll() when you click on a label, right? Then only add select all to the label onclick. Or wrap the input into the the label and assign onclick only for the label

<label for="check_all_1" onclick="selectAll(document.wizard_form, this);">
  <input type="checkbox" id="check_all_1" name="check_all_1" title="Select All">
  Select All
</label>
