Question

I need to set a radio button (‘no_subscribe’) to true when all the elements, ‘checkbox’ are unchecked. This should happen after unchecking all these checkboxes.
Forgive me if this has been asked elsewhere. I am new to javascript and programming in general, so any help is greatly appreciated! I have been able to make the ‘subscribe’ button do what I want, but I can’t figure out the opposite scenario. These are inside a form called ‘mailer’. I recently deleted the attempts I have made. They were not working, so I am sorry there is no code to troubleshoot.

External javascript file:

function subscribe_to_all() {
    for (i = 0; i < document.mailer.subscriptions.length; i++) {
        document.mailer.subscriptions[i].checked = true;
    }
}

function subscribe_to_none() {
    for (i = 0; i < document.mailer.subscriptions.length; i++) {
        document.mailer.subscriptions[i].checked = false;
    }
}

function radio_yes() {
    document.getElementById("subscribe").checked = true;
}​

I’ve used a new function. It is not optimized . I’ve used a new function. There you can fetchthe checkbox status in a loop. But my code works. Just copy and paste and see the changes

    <script type="text/javascript">
function subscribe_to_all() {

for (i=0;i<document.mailer.subscriptions.length;i++){

document.mailer.subscriptions[i].checked = true;

}
}

function subscribe_to_none() {

for (i=0;i<document.mailer.subscriptions.length;i++){

document.mailer.subscriptions[i].checked = false;

}
}
function radio_yes() {

document.getElementById("subscribe").checked = true;

}
function radio_uncheck()
{


        c1=document.getElementById("c1").checked;
        c2=document.getElementById("c2").checked;
        c3=document.getElementById("c3").checked;
        c4=document.getElementById("c4").checked;
        c5=document.getElementById("c5").checked;
        c6=document.getElementById("c6").checked;
        console.log(c1);
        if(c1==false && c2==false && c3==false && c4==false && c5==false && c6==false)
        {document.getElementById("subscribe").checked=false;}

    //document.getElementById("subscribe").checked=false;
} 
</script>
