Often you will encounter forms with multiple checkboxes. Here's a bookmarklet that Checks or Unchecks all the elements in any form (although it was specifically written for Blackboard). This works in Blackboard 6 for checking all questions.

About Me

David Carter-Tod — Sat, 10 Dec 2005 21:58:54 +0100

My name is David Carter-Tod. This is my web site. Despite having had a web site since 1994 or so, this one is a bit of a blank slate right now.

Among other things, I wrote a Quiz Generator for Blackboard, which is now intermittently offline and I have not had time to update it.

If it is not working, please try this alternative quiz generator (based on my code).
