That's OK, a length of 1 is legal :-)

Actually, first he's declaring the Array incorrectly:

   menus = new Array; /* right: menus = new Array(); */

   var checkBoxes = driversDisplayForm.elements["list"];

/* :: and then, here in this loop, "menus" is being treated as
    a string, not an array; declared as a string, this works...
  */

   for(var i = 0; i < checkBoxes.length; i++)
   {
   if(checkBoxes[i].checked)
     {
       menus = menus+","+i; // string concatenation in progress :-)
       value = true;
     }
   }

/* Just generically speaking, using 'value'*, an attribute of many
    objects, as a variable name seems like an insanely bad idea to
    me -- even if it's not on the list of reserved words...

    *earlier declared as: var value = false;
  */

YMMV!
