activate check boxes dependent on radio button selection

I am trying to create a simple form that has two radio buttons. The second
button would activate a set of check boxes to select. For example:

Radio Buttons - Inform me of new releases for all publications
- Inform me only when the selected publications are
updated:

Check Boxes [] Document 1
[] Document 2

I've just not been able to figure out how to tie the Check boxes being
active to the second radio button.

Can this even be done in Front page?

Thanks in advance.

If your two check boxes are named chkDoc1 and chkDoc2, add this script
anywhere in the page (most likely in the <head> section):

<script>
function disableChks(){
document.forms[0].chkDoc1.disabled=true;
document.forms[0].chkDoc2.disabled=true;
}
function enableChks(){
document.forms[0].chkDoc1.disabled=false;
document.forms[0].chkDoc2.disabled=false;
}
</script>

and then code your radio buttons like this:

<input type="radio" name="pubs" value="a" onclick="disableChks();">
<input type="radio" name="pubs" value="s" onclick="enableChks();">

Warning: this is probably IE-specific. Be sure to test it on any other
browsers you care about.
