Blocking links in a DIV unless checkbox is checked
What I would like to do is to force users to accept a "TOS" (Terms of Service) before allowing them to download files.
I have this working with forms & buttons here:
http://jsfiddle.net/LFqcJ/
Here it is again, working in a different fashion.
http://jsfiddle.net/QdyXe/2/
(This way is less desirable as the button simply fades and does not work - the user is not prompted [as above] to action and is left to guess why the link will not work.)
What I would like to do is modify the first script so that it works on hyperlinks in a DIV.
I have a number of files that users can select for free download, but want them to first accept my TOS - the disable method makes it hard for the user to understand what is happening (2nd method above); the 1st method makes it simple when the DIV lights up with instructions on click.
HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Force TOS Acceptance</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function CheckboxValidator(theForm) {
if (
theForm.toscheckbox.checked == false)
{
var txt=document.getElementById("myDiv")
txt.innerHTML="<b style=\"color:#f00; font-size:18px; background:#ff0\">↑ You MUST check the box that agrees to our Terms of Service! </b>";
return false;
} else {
document.open;
document.write('OK. We are satisfied. Good boy.');
document.close;
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Checkbox Must Be Checked for Form Submit</h1>
<p>This script requires that a checkbox is checked before allowing a form to be submitted.
<p> </p>
<form action="../" onsubmit="return CheckboxValidator(this);">
<p><input type="checkbox" name="toscheckbox" value="I agree to the Terms of Service."> <label>I agree to the <a href="http://companypolicies.org/terms-of-service" target="_blank">Terms of Service</a> and will do whatever you ask in the future forever and ever and so will my kids and...</label>
<div id="myDiv"></div>
<br /><input type="submit" value="Submit!"></p>
</form>
<div id="myDiv"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here is the DIV I would like to use:
HTML Code:
<div style="margin:10px 10px 20px 20px;">
<table style="templatedownload">
<tr>
<td><a href="http://companypolicies.org/templates/downloader.php?f=Internet_Use_Policy.docx" title="Download a sample Internet Use Policy in MS Word DOCX format"><img src="http://companypolicies.org/images/docx.png" border="0" /></a></td>

</tr>
<tr>

Something to consider ...
