html.................

Code: 
<tr>
<td colspan=2><span class=clsMainText>Enquiry relates to: </span><b>Missed Bin</b><input type=checkbox  name=chkmissedbin>
<b>etc etc</b>
<input type=checkbox  name=chkmissedbin1>
</td>
</tr>

Before trying to give you an answer, I'd strongly suggest you give to use the getElementById-method to refer to form elements. Next, try to stick to the W3C HTML standards, e.g. use " " by assigning values to tags. Especially strict browsers (like Mozilla and Opera) will - sooner or later - complain and behave strangely otherwise.

This should work:

Code: 
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<span class="clsMainText">Enquiry relates to: </span><b>Missed Bin</b>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkmissedbin" id="chkmissedbin">
<b>etc etc</b>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkmissedbin1" id="chkmissedbin1">
</td>
</tr>

The Javascript code to check these is:
Code: 
if (document.getElementById('chkmissedbin').checked==false)
{
  alert('chkmissedbin is not checked');
}
else
{
  alert('chkmissedbin is checked');
}

if (document.getElementById('chkmissedbin1').checked==false)
{
  alert('chkmissedbin1 is not checked');
}
else
{
  alert('chkmissedbin1 is checked');
}

thanks rekcor

I'll take note of that for the future, problem is I've inherited this 3rd party software product and I don't want to (and haven't the time) at this early stage to re-write the whole thing, so that code is their's - I just can't seem to add validation for my custom fields (missedbin and missedbin1) even so for the next month or so I'll have to stick to their code - I've got 14 of these to do !
I only want the validation to kick in of both missedbin and missedbin1 are false.

thanks

Ok I understand. Try this:

Code: 
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<span class="clsMainText">Enquiry relates to: </span><b>Missed Bin</b>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkmissedbin">
<b>etc etc</b>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkmissedbin1">
</td>
</tr>

The Javascript code to check these is:

[code]
if (document.frmEnquiry.chkmissedbin.checked == false && document.frmEnquiry.chkmissedbin1.checked == false)
{
  alert('Both chkmissedbin and chkmissedbin1 are false');
}

>I only want the validation to kick in of both missedbin and missedbin1 are false.

In that case, at the place of return true line, insert this before it.
[tt]
//return true //at the original
if (!document.frmEnquiry.chkmissedbin.checked && !document.frmEnquiry.chkmissedbin1.checked) {
//validation to kick in
return false;
}
return true;
[/tt]
In your asp, that means
[tt]
'Response.Write " return true;" & vbLf
Response.Write "if (!document.frmEnquiry.chkmissedbin.checked && !document.frmEnquiry.chkmissedbin1.checked) { " & vbLf
Response.Write " //validation to kick in" & vbLf
Response.Write " return false;" & vbLf
Response.Write "}" & vbLf
Response.Write "return true;" & vbLf
[/tt]
Only thing is to make it look as "pretty" as your original by adding more spaces around etc. But that's cosmetic. The same principle applies if you have more to add as said.
