How to select all checkboxes using JavaScript

To select all checkboxes on a web page using JavaScript, you can iterate over all checkbox elements and set their checked property to true. Here’s an example:

JavaScript
// Get all checkbox elements
var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');

// Loop through each checkbox and set checked to true
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
  checkboxes[i].checked = true;
}

In this example, document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]') selects all checkbox elements on the page using the CSS selector 'input[type="checkbox"]'. The querySelectorAll method returns a NodeList of matching elements.

Then, a for loop is used to iterate over each checkbox element in the NodeList. The checked property of each checkbox is set to true to select it.

After executing this code, all checkboxes on the page will be checked.

Please note that this code assumes there are no nested checkbox elements within other elements. If you have nested checkboxes, you may need to adjust the code accordingly to target only the desired checkboxes.
