this client side just before my form gets submitted. Once the user
clicks the submit button a javascript function needs to run and
validate all the checkboxes on my form and make sure none of them are
unchecked. I suck at Javascript and my problem is 2fold. I have the

With this code I need to create a javascript function and all the code
that I found refers to the check box name in the code. I however, have
no idea how to refer to my checkbox name because it is created from
database columns as shown in the above code right before the HTML
source code. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Here is the code I found but please if you have something better then
this please help. Thanks again
[code]
function validateCheckBoxes(){
var oForm = document.SurveySubmitted;//change to real name
var oCheck = oForm.HiddenTextValue;//change to real name
var flag = false;
var i;
if(!oCheck.length&&oCheck.checked)flag = true;
else{for(i=0;i<oCheck.length;i++)if(oCheck[i].checked)flag=true;}
if(!flag){alert("you haven't checked anything");return false;}
else oForm.submit();
}
You'll
