Select All checkbox by Javascript or console

Question

I am having 100 Checkboxes on my web page. For testing purposes I want to tick all those boxes, but manually clicking is time consuming. Is there a possible way to get them ticked?

Perhaps a JavaScript or Chrome Console window, anything?

Answer 1

The most direct way would be to grab all your inputs, filter just the checkboxes out, and set the checked property.

var allInputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); for (var i = 0, max = allInputs.length; i < max; i++){     if (allInputs[i].type === 'checkbox')         allInputs[i].checked = true; }

If you happen to be using jQuery—and I'm not saying you should start just to tick all your checkboxes for testing—you could simply do

$("input[type='checkbox']").prop("checked", true); 

or as Fabricio points out:

$(":checkbox").prop("checked", true);
