Validation of a form based on checkbox value 1

[apex82]

I have a simple form.

1. I have a textarea.

2. Underneath the textarea I have a checkbox

3. I have four input fields below the checkbox.

How do I add validation for everything but only validation for the four input fields below the checkbox when the checkbox is unchecked?

I have been searching for examples but can’t find anything to meet this criteria.

Thanks.

your checkbox should have an id attached to it so:

//validate your text area
...
// check to see if the checkbox is checked
if (document.getElementById("cbxID").checked) {
// validate all items beneath it
...
}

return true/false based on result of validation;

I just read my post and I did make a mistake...

should be

if (!document.getElementById("cbxID").checked) {
...
}

I originally read your post as if the checkbox was checked...
