UPDATE 2: Still a lot of visitors come to my site, so I decided to update the code to a newer one which works as of November 2011. It’s worth to mention that executing Javascript directly in the URL field is not supported for all browsers. It should work in Google Chrome, there is now even an extension for this feature called Facebook Super Select All. Thanks for the contribution in the comments!
UPDATE 1: After this post was originally written, Facebook came up with a solution to create lists of friends. You can create several lists, based on your own personal criterias, and add your friends to different lists, which you then can send event or page invitations to. I would rather recommend using this solution provided by Facebook, so that you don’t send information which might not apply to all of your friends.
To create a list, go to your Account settings, choose Edit Friends and Create new list. After you’ve created new lists you have an option to filter friends based on list names when you’re inviting friends to events or pages.
The newly redesigned Facebook has led inviting members to an event/group/page to an even more complex process. Why can’t they just make a “select all” button? Initially I got tired of clicking several hundred times on all the pictures to invite people to my event, so I came up with this small piece of Javascript:
Go to your event/group/page, click invite people and then paste this snippet in the URL field of your browser.
Left-click the mouse in the URL field and hit Enter. Your invitations will not be sent yet, but all your friends will be selected. Click the “Invite” or “Send” button on the Facebook page to finally send the invites.
Soi! Done in one go

there u go guys…. this is the new script which is working in NEW UPDATED FACEBOOK. I have used it today on 29/03/2011 and it working.
Make one thing sure when you Click ‘Select Guests to Invite’ — Scroll down to the bottom in your list of friends, until you see all your firends. And after that copy paste this scrip on the URL. and hit ENTER wait for 30 seconds atmost and it will select all your friends…
javascript:elms=document.getElementsByName(“checkableitems[]“);for (i=0;i> ITS WORKING>>>

Hey I just cobbled this together. Careful, it just blindly selects ALL checkboxes on the page so do review your options after using it, but it does get the main task of clicking all those boxes done in one go.
javascript:objs=document.getElementsByClassName(‘checkbox’);for(var i in objs){objs[i].checked=true;}
Also, I’ve only used this in Safari, there’s a good chance it won’t work in IE or any older browser that doesn’t support the getElementsByClassName() method.
April 2nd, 2011 at 2 April, 2011
Err, scratch that. I’m no longer sure that worked as FB doesn’t tell you how many invites have been sent. If it doesn’t work, try this:
javascript:objs=document.getElementsByClassName(‘checkbox’);for(var i in objs){if(typeof objs[i] === ‘object’){objs[i].click();}}
April 2nd, 2011 at 2 April, 2011
Any hope? I’m not seeing results. Could someone shoot one at me?
April 3rd, 2011 at 3 April, 2011
This works! scroll all the way to end of your friends list before you run the script or it will only select the first 100..This came from – http://giacobam.blogspot.com/2011/03/inviting-all-your-friends-to-facebook.html
javascript:var elms=document.getElementsByName(“checkableitems[]“);for(var count=0;count<elms.length;count++){var t = setTimeout("elms["+count+"].click()",100)}
April 3rd, 2011 at 3 April, 2011
doesnt work anymore. is there any updated code?
April 4th, 2011 at 4 April, 2011
BIG BUMMER……….. why would they do that??? mmmmmm
April 4th, 2011 at 4 April, 2011

You can find updated code here:

April 5th, 2011 at 5 April, 2011
It seems the code does not work any longer. Ugh! Can you provide an updated code for those of us seeking to invite all friends in one go. It’s a pain in the ass to click on each friend. Takes over an hour each time.
Help!
April 5th, 2011 at 5 April, 2011
The event page for FB has been reformatted.
If you bring up the “Invite friends” dialog (by clicking on the “+ Select guests to invite”), the following script works:
javascript:elms=document.querySelectorAll(‘.fbProfileBrowserListContainer input’);for(var fid in elms){elms[fid].click();}
If you have many friends, you’ll need to scroll down the guest list to force FB to load all your friends onto the selection list before using this script.
April 5th, 2011 at 5 April, 2011
doesn’t work anymore man got a new one which does?? let us know right pain not being able to invite all.
April 7th, 2011 at 7 April, 2011
I’ve tried it, hic, It don’t work . Maybe FaceBook changed it’s security
Anyone have another method for add all friend when send message from Event ?
Thanks.
April 8th, 2011 at 8 April, 2011
The new code to invite all your friends to a facebook event in one click is
javascript:javascript:var elms=document.getElementsByName(“checkableitems[]“);for(var count=0;count<elms.length;count++){var t = setTimeout("elms["+count+"].click()",100)}
you'l need to scroll down so that all your friends load first

It doesn’t work to me. Is it the same thing to do as the previous one? Copy/paste on url field then Enter?
Thanks.
April 19th, 2011 at 19 April, 2011
This doesn’t work. The code DOES let you select all your friends, and hit submit. But the “awaiting response” number never goes up. Any other suggestions?
April 19th, 2011 at 19 April, 2011
Dear Carl
It still doesn’t working… Is it possible that they have change it so quickly… Any suggestion please.
I, probably all of us will appreciated.
Thank you
April 20th, 2011 at 20 April, 2011

April 20th, 2011 at 20 April, 2011
This works in Firefox, I just tested it:
javascript:elms=document.getElementsByName(“checkableitems[]“);for (i=0;i<elms.length;i++){if (elms[i].type="checkbox" )elms[i].click()};
Again, invite friends, scroll to the bottom of friends, paste this in the url, double click in the url box and voila
April 20th, 2011 at 20 April, 2011
