I have written a code to automate my webpage to do a search and download a report. Till selection of the report everything works fine. But download click is not working after clicking checkbox. It works well if i keep the download click bust before checkbox select. But I need to select the reports to click download.

<form action="xxx.net:1234/xxx/xxx/abc.do?starttrail=true&advancedSear
+ch=true" onsubmit="javascript:deleteReport(this);">
<input type="hidden" name="formAction" id="formAction"/>
<table id="reportLog" class="content" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
    <th class="actionHeader" colspan="5">
        <div class="leftButtons">
                    <input type="button" id="deleteButton" name="delet
+e" value='Delete' height="5"  />
                    <input type="button" id="downloadButton" name="dow
+nload" value='Download' height="5" />
                </div>            
    </th>
  </tr>
<tr>
  <th class="column checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="selectAll" 
+ onClick='javascript:checksOnlyActive(this.checked, this.form, "selec
+tedLogs")'/></th>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td class="checkboxCol ">
    <input type="checkbox" name="selectedLogs" value='178746' /></td>
  <td >Complete</td>
  <td >def</td>
  <td >123abc</td>
  <td  nowrap>
