Hello ,

I have a page that has multiple check boxes. I would like to make sure
that at least one check box is checked before the submit button sends the
form off to a shopping cart. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Russell

TY Kathleen

But that script proved too complicated for me. I was able to get it to do
what I wanted in its "own" page but upon pasting into my page it did not
work .

I pasted this:

<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
function checkbox_checker()
{

// set var checkbox_choices to zero

var checkbox_choices = 0;

// Loop from zero to the one minus the number of checkbox button selections
for (counter = 0; counter < checkbox_form.checkbox.length; counter++)
{

// If a checkbox has been selected it will return true
// (If not it will return false)
if (checkbox_form.checkbox[counter].checked)
{ checkbox_choices = checkbox_choices + 1; }

}
if (checkbox_choices < 1 )
{
// If there were less then selections made display an alert box
alert("Please make a selection.")
return (false);
}
}

-->
</script>

And this :

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.myurl/cgi-bin/cart.pl" onsubmit="return
checkbox_checker()" name="checkbox_form">


And get the results : checkbox_form.checkbox.length is null or not
an object.

Any other hints for me?

Thanks

Russell

Are all your check boxes in your form named checkbox per the sample code
<input type="checkbox" value="Hank Aaron" name="checkbox">Hank Aaron<br>
That's what checkbox_form.checkbox.length is looking for

Thanks Stefan.

I changed the names of the checkboxes and that script works fine. Problem is
my shopping cart expects the checkbox names to be multi-item1, multi-item2,
etc. I can't change those names and still have the shopping cart place a
checked item in the cart. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Russell

No I haven' to. I don't see it as a cart issue. The cart works fine. I
would just like to prevent submission to the cart with empty check boxes.
Its not a big deal, but to some, I suspect it might be annoying.
Not really knowing JavaScript, but having seen what can be done, I didn't
think it would be too difficult to check for input before submitting the
forms.

Any other suggestions how to do this?

Thank You.

Russell

It is not a FP issue either, it is a cart issue, since you must name each checkbox uniquely, the
author may have a solution.
