i Have a table with two columns and a checkbox above it.
when the box is checked, i like to show the two <TD>s

i have:

<TD ID=1000 style=display=none>APPLE</TD>
<TD ID=1000 style=display=none>ORANGE</TD>

how can i do this with JS ?

i have used getElementById, but it only return one of the ids '1000'

This is invalid markup, id must be unique.

Use CSS classes, one for hidden and one for visible.

This is very wrong. An id is a unique (per document) identifier, you can't
have two elements in the same document with the same id. Additionally, an
id cannot begin with a number.

Attribute values containing "=" characters must be quoted, and CSS uses
a ":" to assign a value to a property, not an "=".

Use something else to identify the elements. There are a number of
implementations of getElementByClassName on the WWW.
