Outlook Webmail Toggle Checkbox Bookmarklet

A while ago, a friend who was frustrated with Outlook Web Access (the web-based interface to Microsoft Exchange) wondered if there were a way to programmatically check the checkboxes next to each message so he could “select all.” That would be handy (I use OWA myself from time to time), but I couldn’t think of a way until I realized a bookmarklet could do it. So, here it is:

OWA Toggle Checkboxes

Compatibility Note: While this works with our version of OWA (Exchange 2003), I bet it won’t work at all with newer versions. No harm in trying; it should just do nothing if it’s incompatible. It even works in Internet Explorer, although IE doesn't need the capability.
