Hi, any one know why this script

Hi, any one know why this script doesn't work right??

for(i=0; i<=6; i++) {
if (!document.formsreq.APPLICATIONS(i).checked) {
alert ("Please select form.&quot

;
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}

this is supposed to check to see if any one of 7 checkboxes are checked, and if any one is checked it's supposed to submit, but this code for some reason only works if the first checkbox is checked, not if any other checkboxes are checked,why??

this might work:

for(i=0; i<=6; i++)
{
if (!document.formsreq.APPLICATIONS(i).checked)
{continue;}
else{return true;}
}
alert("Please select form.&quot

return false; jared@aauser.com

Try this...

Code:

<html>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function validate(){
	var boolFlag = false
	for (i=0; i<=6; i++) {
  	if (document.formsreq.APPLICATIONS(i).checked) {
  		boolFlag = true
  	}
  }
  if (boolFlag == true) {
  	return true;
	}        
	else {
		alert(&quot;You must select a form!&quot;);
		return false;
	}
}
</script>
<body>
<form id=formsreq name=formsreq>
	0. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	1. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	2. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	3. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	4. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	5. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	6. <input type=checkbox id=APPLICATIONS><br>
	<input type=button onClick=&quot;validate()&quot;>
</form>
</body>
</html>
