custom button to update a field

hi

 

i have an customobject. i have a view created to show some records. i want to have an ability to update a field in the custom object to true for all selected records<a href="http://www.wbiura.pl"> wirtualne biuro </a>. i have a custom button created and have it included in the view layout

 

I am not sure how to go about doing the update using java script.  i have the behaviour as execute javascript and in onclick javascript i have

	{!Appointment__c.test1__c}='true'

 Test1 is the field which i want to update. check syntax give no errors but when i click the button its gives

A problem with the OnClick JavaScript for this button or link was encountered:

syntax error

 Any ideas, i dont mind using javascript or any other means to do a mass update.

sforce.connection.sessionId = '{!$Api.Session_ID}';
var MailingSObjectID =  '{!test__c.Id}';

This will work only for one record not for multiple selected record...

You can use this code for Mass update functionality. 

//****************************************************************

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/19.0/connection.js")}
var url = parent.location.href;
var records = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Account)};
var records = [];

if (records[0] == null) {
alert("Please select at least one record to update.");
} else {
for (var a=0; a<records.length; a++) {
var account = new sforce.SObject("Account");
account.Id = records[a];
account.IsCustomer__c = 'true';
records.push(account);
}
result = sforce.connection.update(records);
parent.location.href = url;
}
