Checkbox Validation

Guest_imported · May 23, 2002

I'm trying to validate a series of checkboxes.

If the user gets the combination of boxes correct (Keegan - Liverpool - Argentina), they progress to the next page. If not, they get an error message and the checked boxes all empty.

I've downloaded the 'Check Form MX' extension from yaromat.com but cannot seem to validate more than one checkbox per form.

I'm really struggling and in need of help!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

not sure about the validation but you might want to consider using 3 sets of 3 radio buttons rather than 9 checkboxes. At the moment, the users can select multiple answers for the same question.

How about this...

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>
  function chkMe() {
    if (document.myform.wc_keegan.checked && document.myform.wc_liverpool.checked && document.myform.wc_argentina.checked) {
      return true;
    }
    else {
      var j = 0;
      var howmany = document.myform.elements.length;
      for (var i = 1; i < howmany; i++) {
        if (document.myform.elements[i].type == 'checkbox')
          j = j + 1;
          var fld = eval(&quot;document.myform.&quot; + document.myform.elements[i].name);
          fld.checked = false;
      }
      return false;
    }
  }
</script>
</head>
<form name=myform onsubmit=&quot;return chkMe()&quot;>
<input type=checkbox name=wc_keegan>Keegan<br>
<input type=checkbox name=wc_paris>Paris<br>
<input type=checkbox name=wc_liverpool>Liverpool<br>
<input type=checkbox name=wc_spain>Spain<br>
<input type=checkbox name=wc_argentina>Argentina<br>
<input type=submit name=wb_submit>
</form>
</html>
