select all - checkbox-script given wrong name [NOBUG]

Post by raevel »

The "select all" checkbox, does not check all checkboxes as it should.
Instead it inverts the current selection (guessing you're using that.checked = !that.checked.)
I do think that this is a smarter way of doing it, but it should be renamed "invert selection" instead.

This is a feature, not a bug.

The functionality certainly could be considered to be a feature, but the misleading label is a bug.

Actually even the label is a "feature".
As "toggle all" would simply confuse some ppl who will most likely never realize that it isn't exactly a "select all".

BYe!
