I have just needed a toggling function made with javascript for checkboxes wich are grouped in lists. It should look like a hierarchical tree-like structure. When I check the box of my first tree-category, all related subcategories automatically must getting checked too.

I have used the prototype framework for other functionalities on the website, so I preferred to take use of it for helping me by developing this. Prototype framework comes with form functions like getInputs(), but this function gets completely all input fields of a form and not from a specified list, so this did not help me in this situation.

This is a silhouetted visualization of my grouped checkboxes:

1. [x] Category 1
   1. [x] product 1
   2. [x] product 2
   3. [x] product 3
2. [ ] Category 2
   1. [ ] product 1
   2. [ ] product 2
   3. [ ] product 3
