Hi guys,

so i wrote a function to select a certain amount of checkboxes on the page, the number retrieves fine when i message box it but no checkboxes are checked.

here is my function

function checkAmount(number)  
{  
alert(number);      
var boxes = document.getElementsByTagName("input");  
for (var i = 0; i < number; i++) {  
    if (boxes[i].name == "vote[]") {  
        boxes[i].checked = true;  
    }  
}  
}

and here is my execution code

 OnClick="checkAmount(document.getElementById(\'ammount\').value)"
