This is because it creates a new "thread", atleast I think it so. Use global variables to prevent this from happening:
i = 0; function change_check_all(tree_item) { a = document.all[tree_item + "_check"]; b = document.all[tree_item + "_count"]; // changed the line below for(i = $GLOBALS[i];i<b.value;i++) { if (a.value=="off") { change_check_to(tree_item + "_" + i, 0); } else { change_check_to(tree_item + "_" + i, 1); } change_check_all(tree_item + "_" + i, i); } } Niklas -----Original Message----- From: Alex Elderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10. tammikuuta 2002 13:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] global/local var in a function Hi, I have a little problem with a function.
