[Javascript] Required Checkboxes and Text boxes on a form

[Alan Easton]

Hi,
For checking check boxes they would already be elements in a form, so you
would run a onSubmit function to check the check boxes and the text boxes.

The checkboxes function could look something like this:

function check() {
if (!form.name_of_checkbox.checked) {
alert ("You have tick the box");
form.name_of_checkbox.focus();
return false;
}

A function to check the text fields are filled, a basic check:
function check() { 
if (form.name_of_textfield == false){	
alert ("Please enter some text");
form.name_of_textfield.focus();
return false;
}	
return true;
}

Not to sure of the exact syntax, but I think this will get you close enough
to help.

Hello all of you brilliant people -
I have a form that has mostly checkboxes, but also some text boxes of which
ALL have to be required before processing.

What series of code would be required to insure both the checkboxes and the
text boxes are required before accepting the submitted form??

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
