How To Display Checkboxes in a Table with an Additional Select All Box?

I can create tables and I can also create check boxes.
 Now, I have to do a combination of check boxes and
tables:

I am reading membership data from a database table.  I
am going to display the information of each member in
a table.  

The table has five columns.  Four of those five
columns are name, title, e-mail address, and telephone
number.

I also have to display a check box for each of the
members.  Therefore, there is a check box for each
row.  And the check box is the fifth column.

In addition, I must have a "Select All" check box on
top of the page.

Users either select all or make multiple selections
from the list.  A check mark will submit the value of
e-mail address of each member.

What is the way of doing it?

Thanks for your prompt reply.  Please help me a little
further because I do not understand:

"Analytical: you could always select them on the
server side, in which case you'd already paint them on
the right state."

Hi,

If I understood your question, I guess the most simple solution is
JavaScript: name all your checkboxes in a certain way (say, for instance,
use a prefix like "memberSelector_") and create a JavaScript function that
toggles on / off the elements whose name begin with that prefix.

I guess there is always the classic topic: what if the user has disabled
JavaScript?

2 answers:

- Superficial: in that case, I believe you will have bigger problems than
just how to check a silly checkbox.

- Analytical: you could always select them on the server side, in which case
you'd already paint them on the right state.

Hope that helps,
Freddy.
