Form checkbox "Uncheck" function

Form checkbox "Uncheck" function

We have put together a Unsubscribe/Preference form page.  The page gives the visitor the ability to select their choice in email communication types (Newsletter, product announcements, etc.).  The page also has a "Unsub from all" choice.  The process is, they get to this page with all items pre-checked except for the Unsub.  If the visitor chooses to Unsub from all, the idea is to have all checked boxes become un-checked if they choose Unsub from all, giving them a visual of what they are choosing to do.

I feel that it would be a "nice to have", where that actually occurs.  There are scrips and JQueries to accomplish that, but it takes more coding skill than your average MKTO user has (Including myself).

This is a function that could be applicable to more than just an Unsub function.

Thoughts?

Hi Robert,

I remember that a JS code sample was published by Sanford Whiteman​ a few months ago. It's easier to just adjust some existing code that develop one from 0 when one is not a specialist.

Thanks Greg.  I was given some code that accomplishes the task, but was hoping MKTO would have this as an "Out of the box" function.  Or am I dreaming? (Like the Email Heat Map that I have wanted for years and years?)

Hi Robert,

I agree it would be a nice feature to have and I have voted. But in the meantime, I'm afraid we will have to go with the JS

Thanks Greg.  I was able to get some help here to enable the JS to work.  And it did!!
