but when changing the page still there is a problem to be resolved.

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//               the bellow sequence is very important for controlling the checkboxes relation header / rows
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          
$id = find_submit('_rec_');      // check if a row was clicked

if (!check_value('chkbx')) { update_all('0') ;  }   // always clear all the rows checkboxes whenever the header is not marked

if ( check_value('chkbx')==1 && $id == -1) { update_all('1') ;  }  // when we are sure that the header is
                                                                                                                      //  clicked and not one of the rows was clicked
       
if ($id != -1)                                  // when a row is clicked => toggle its mark & update the "sel_chk" field to (0 || 1 )
        {
            $chkbox_value = check_value("rec_".$id) ? '1' : '0';
            update_gl_trans_sel_chk_value($id,$chkbox_value);
        }

I m sure now that things are on the right track.

- the goods is I didn't use javascripts until now except of the standard ((( JsHttpRequest.request("_XXXX_update", this.form); )))

- the bads is that I was obliged to control the header checkbox through modifications in db_pager_view.inc file:

related to   :    $labels[0]   <==>  $table->columns->headers[0]   ( table header )

thanks for your support

to resolve the checkboxes select/deselect in the rows, I did the following :

- I added a temporary field column "sel_chk" to the $sql used in journal_inquiry ( based on adding join the existing "gl_trans" to temporary table containing [ clone of gl_trans.counter & sel_chk]

- I controlled their previous selection  within the $sql pagination by adding a $_session var for the journal_inquiry page & by adding a conditional check in db_pager_view.inc

- I imitate the selection checkboxes as in : /gl/bank_account_reconcile.php and it works ok for the rows.

Now for doing the check ALL case in the deader i m freezed:

- I cannot adopt the JAVASCRIPT approach as in the links because it deals with the seen page only, and when paginating it flashes away all the checkboxes ( I tried as described )

- I tried to call a php function through AJAX ( it looks a good approach ) but i failed because it seems that in this JAVA / AJAX / PHP connection, JAVSCRIPT establish a new connection tunnel for the communication and in this case it couldn't recognize all of the server original environment and and the relations were lost.

it is really a difficult exercise.

Reference implementations are available at:

Controlling the checkboxes in the tables rows are ok now ( learned how to do it from : bank_account_reconcile.php ),

but still I failed to control the top checkbox in their column header.

The idea is to use it as : check all / uncheck all / checked (whenever one of the rows checkboxes is checked)

AND whenever the header is being checked a tiny icon menu will  show up ( and this tiny menu will disappear when unchecked ).

Any suggestion ?

I couldn't understand your comment, but I attached the pic to help figure out what i am working on.

Anyhow I appreciate any help in this regard.

I did a deep search for a solution on the net, but it seems it is a bit complicated to have such kind of control and I found nothing interesting unless advises to use $_session ( cookies ) when paginating to hold control of checked checkboxes.

I didn't found any sample to base my trials on it and because of that I tried to ask for suggestions.

For sure there is no selfishness when I said that I failed to do this exercise.   

Thanks,

I added the checkbox's to a new Journal Inquiry page and trying to control the selection for exporting or printing out.

Any proposal ?

really i m thankful a lot.

I m trying to have a new look for ..\gl\inquiry\journal_inquiry.php with which  I want to add a new checkbox column at the beginning
of the displayed table.

When selecting checkbox's , it will popup a set of control buttons who will allow us to Export the selected rows.

It is a some kind of additional control to add for List inquiry web pages used in different locations of FA.
