Is it possible to select a row with tableselect.js? Drupal includes tableselect.js in a view I am using that uses views bulk operations.  I am wondering if it is possible to use the table select code to select a row by id or some other selector.  My goal is for the select all checkbox to get checked if all rows are selected.

Here is the tableselect code:

Drupal.behaviors.tableSelect = function (context) {
  $('form table:has(th.select-all):not(.tableSelect-processed)', context).each(Drupal.tableSelect);
};

Drupal.tableSelect = function() {
  // Do not add a "Select all" checkbox if there are no rows with checkboxes in the table
  if ($('td input:checkbox', this).size() == 0) {
    return;
  }

  // Keep track of the table, which checkbox is checked and alias the settings.
  var table = this, checkboxes, lastChecked;
  var strings = { 'selectAll': Drupal.t('Select all rows in this table'), 'selectNone': Drupal.t('Deselect all rows in this table') };
  var updateSelectAll = function(state) {
    $('th.select-all input:checkbox', table).each(function() {
      $(this).attr('title', state ? strings.selectNone : strings.selectAll);
      this.checked = state;
    });
  };

  // Find all &lt;th&gt; with class select-all, and insert the check all checkbox.
  $('th.select-all', table).prepend($('&lt;input type="checkbox" class="form-checkbox" /&gt;').attr('title', strings.selectAll)).click(function(event) {
    if ($(event.target).is('input:checkbox')) {
      // Loop through all checkboxes and set their state to the select all checkbox' state.
      checkboxes.each(function() {
        this.checked = event.target.checked;
        // Either add or remove the selected class based on the state of the check all checkbox.
        $(this).parents('tr:first')[ this.checked ? 'addClass' : 'removeClass' ]('selected');
      });
      // Update the title and the state of the check all box.
      updateSelectAll(event.target.checked);
    }
  });

  // For each of the checkboxes within the table.
  checkboxes = $('td input:checkbox', table).click(function(e) {
    // Either add or remove the selected class based on the state of the check all checkbox.
    $(this).parents('tr:first')[ this.checked ? 'addClass' : 'removeClass' ]('selected');

    // If this is a shift click, we need to highlight everything in the range.
    // Also make sure that we are actually checking checkboxes over a range and
    // that a checkbox has been checked or unchecked before.
    if (e.shiftKey &amp;&amp; lastChecked &amp;&amp; lastChecked != e.target) {
      // We use the checkbox's parent TR to do our range searching.
      Drupal.tableSelectRange($(e.target).parents('tr')[0], $(lastChecked).parents('tr')[0], e.target.checked);
    }

    // If all checkboxes are checked, make sure the select-all one is checked too, otherwise keep unchecked.
    updateSelectAll((checkboxes.length == $(checkboxes).filter(':checked').length));

    // Keep track of the last checked checkbox.
    lastChecked = e.target;
  });
  $(this).addClass('tableSelect-processed');
};

Drupal.tableSelectRange = function(from, to, state) {
  // We determine the looping mode based on the the order of from and to.
  var mode = from.rowIndex &gt; to.rowIndex ? 'previousSibling' : 'nextSibling';

  // Traverse through the sibling nodes.
  for (var i = from[mode]; i; i = i[mode]) {
    // Make sure that we're only dealing with elements.
    if (i.nodeType != 1) {
      continue;
    }

    // Either add or remove the selected class based on the state of the target checkbox.
    $(i)[ state ? 'addClass' : 'removeClass' ]('selected');
    $('input:checkbox', i).each(function() {
      this.checked = state;
    });

    if (to.nodeType) {
      // If we are at the end of the range, stop.
      if (i == to) {
        break;
      }
    }
    // A faster alternative to doing $(i).filter(to).length.
    else if (jQuery.filter(to, [i]).r.length) {
      break;
    }
  }
};
The answer is to forget about tableSelect.js and trigger the appropriate eventHandler when setting the checkboxe's attribute to 'checked'.

Here is the code:

var checkbox = tr.find('td input:checkbox');
checkbox.attr('checked', 'checked').triggerHandler('click');
