Hello,
I used Dreamweaver to validate a simple form. Now I added checkboxes to the form and need to ensure someone checks at least one. I found the code for doing this, but can't figure out how to make it work. Thanks to anyone who might be able to help.
Thanks,
Will
Here's my head code. The first is what DW added. The second is what I'm trying to add for the checkboxes.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}
function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=MM_findObj(args[i]);
if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
} else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
}
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
function checkCheckBoxes(theForm) {
if (
theForm.CHECKBOX_1.checked == false &&

return false;
} else {
return true;

And here's my form action:
<form action="phpformmail/formmail.php" method="post" name="form1" id="form1" onSubmit="MM_validateForm('first_name','','R','last_name','','R','Company','','R','email','','RisEmail');retur n document.MM_returnValue">
