make one checkbox enable all others purely with javascript

Question

I'm really struggling with this. I want to use Jquery for this but it's not allowed unfortunately. So for a little exercise I need to let one checkbox check enable all other checkboxes. No it doesn't need to check them but just enable them. Here is my HTML code:

<table border="0">
   <tr>
    <th id="thproductid"; colspan="2"; width="300px">Pizza</th>
    <th id="thproductid"; colspan="2"; width="150px"><input type="checkbox" name="pizzamedium" id="checkpizzamedium" onclick="Activeer(this)"> Medium</th>
    <th id="thproductid"; colspan="3"; width="50px">Aantal</th>
    <th width="100px"></th>
    <th id="thproductid"; colspan="2"; width="150px"><input type="checkbox" name="pizzalarge" id="checkpizzalarge" onclick="Activeer(this)"> Large</th>
    <th id="thproductid"; colspan="3"; width="50px">Aantal</th>
    <th width="100px"></th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
    <th id="tdid">1</th>
    <td id="tdproductid"> Margeritha</td>
    <td id="tdprijsid"> &#8364 7,50</td>
    <td id="tdcheckboxid"><input type="checkbox" name="pizzamedium" id="Margeritham" value="Pizza Margeritha M" onclick="" disabled></td>
    <td><input type="button" id="plusknopmargerithaM" value=" + " onclick="" disabled></td>
    <td><input type="button" id="minknopmargerithaM" value=" - " onclick="" disabled></td>
    <td><input type="text" size="5" name="aantalpizzasmargerithaM" id="aantalpizzasmargerithaM" value="0" disabled></td>

    <td><input type="button" id="plusknoppolloM" value=" + " onclick..

Here is my JS code:

function Activeer(adres, checkbox1id, checkbox2id, checkbox3id, checkbox4id, checkbox5id, checkbox6id, checkbox7id, checkbox8id) {
    if(adres.checked) {
        document.getElementById(checkbox1id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox2id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox3id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox4id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox5id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox6id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox7id).disabled = "";
  document.getElementById(checkbox8id).disabled = "";
    }
}

Answer 1

Give all of your checkboxes the same class, then assign every checkbox but one the disabled attribute.*

EDIT

*No need to hardcode the disabled attribute, the demo has the capability to programmatically change the state of the checkboxes now.

I added a JavaScript solution and commented out the jQuery, if you'd like to test it out as well, just remove the comment marks and place them on the JS function.

var chxs = document.querySelectorAll('.chx');

var check = document.querySelector('input[type="checkbox"]');

check.addEventListener('change', function() {
  var chxArr = Array.prototype.map.call(chxs, function(obj, i) {

    if (obj.getAttribute('disabled')) {
      return obj.removeAttribute('disabled');
    } else {
      return obj.setAttribute('disabled', true);
    }
  });
}, false);

Details are commented in the source of the following Snippet:

SNIPPET

/*
$('.chx').on('change', function() {
  $('.chx').removeAttr('disabled');
});
*/

// Collect all elements with class .chx into a NodeList
var chxs = document.querySelectorAll('.chx');

// Reference the first checkbox found
var check = document.querySelector('input[type="checkbox"]');

/*
| - Add an eventListener to the first checkbox
| - If a change event fires on the checkbox...
*/
check.addEventListener('change', function() {

  /*
  | - Convert the NodeList chxs into an array called chxArr with
  | map and call methods.
  | - On each iteration...
  */
  var chxArr = Array.prototype.map.call(chxs, function(obj, i) {

    /*
    | - If the checkbox(obj) has the attribute "disabled"...
    | -...remove the "disabled" attribute...
    | - ...otherwise add the "disabled attribute to it.
    */
    if (obj.getAttribute('disabled')) {
      return obj.removeAttribute('disabled');
    } else {
      return obj.setAttribute('disabled', true);
    }
    // Lather, rinse, and repeat...
  });
}, false);

Answer 2

Notes about your code:

1. Hardcoding the process is the last thing you'd want to do in this case.
2. Setting element.disabled = "" doesn't remove the attribute and the element will stay disabled nonetheless.

Solution:

I didn't want to change too much the code you already have, so I went ahead and removed the hardcoding you've done by using a for loop to iterate through the elements you pass as arguments (except the first one [adres]) and disabling them one-by-one.

I also changed element.disabled = "" to element.removeAttribute("disabl‌​ed"), because as mentioned above, the former doesn't actually remove the attribute.

function Activeer() {
  var
    adres = arguments[0], /* The first argument should be adres */
    args = [].slice.call(arguments, 1); /* Every element you want enabled */

  if (adres.checked) {
    for (var i = 0; i < args.length; i++) args[index].removeAttribute("disabl‌​ed");
  }
}

One last note:

I believe this solution will work as you want, but I'd still encourage you to use a common attribute though (like the same class or name), as everything will be significantly simpler since you want have to pass countless arguments for each element you want enabled.

Example:

Let's suppose you give them a class: class = "checkboxes".

function Activeer(adres) {
  var elements = document.querySelectorAll(".checkboxes");
  if (adres.checked) for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
      args[index].removeAttribute("disabl‌​ed");
  }
}
