you can use a code like this:
function selectAll(ElementName) {
var obj=document.forms[0].elements[ElementName];
for (var i=0; i<obj.options.length; i++) obj.options[i].selected=true
}
Where ElementName is the name of your select box (a string value) and
assuming that there is only one form on the page. If there are more
than one then change the second line to
var obj=docment.forms['formName'].elements[ElementName];
That should work for you if I haven't done anything stupid.
