    var checkboxes = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++){
        var input = inputs[i];
        if (input.getAttribute('type') == 'checkbox'){
            checkboxes.push(input);
        }
    } 
    return checkboxes;
}
 
function check(checks){
  var checkboxes = selectCheckbox();
  for(var i=0; i < checkboxes.length; i++){
    checkboxes[i].checked = checks.checked;
  }
}
 
function submit() {
    var checks = document.getElementsByClassName('check');
    var str = '';
    for ( i = 0; i < checks.length; i++) {
        if ( checks[i].checked === true ) {
