function arguments

hey guys im trying to make a select all checkbox script but i'm having problems with getting the argument and putting it into a variable all the code is below...but it is this code which seems to be the problem i believe...

  1. function toggleCheckboxes(group, element) {

        group =  $('input[@name='+ group +']');
        var group_checkbox_count = $(group).length;
        var group_checked_count  = $(group:checked).length;

      <script type="text/javascript" src="/ajax/jquery/libary/jquery.js"></script>
      <script>   
    function toggleCheckboxes(group, element) {

        group =  $('input[@name='+ group +']');
        var group_checkbox_count = $(group).length;
        var group_checked_count  = $(group:checked).length;
       
        if ($(element).text() == "")
        {
            if ($(group_checked_count) / $(group_checkbox_count) < 1) {
                $(element).text() = "Select All";
