Validate that at least one checkbox is checked

[Zvonko Bi¹kup]

Hi!

I have 5 checkboxes with the same name:
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="XYZ" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="ZXY" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="MHG" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="IOJ" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="BGT" />

How to check if at least one is checked?

Thanks
Zvonko

<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="XYZ" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="ZXY" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="MHG" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="IOJ" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="BGT" />

How to check if at least one is checked?

Assuming they are inside a form named "f", try something like:

var els = document.forms.f.elements;
var i = els.length;
var flag = false;
while( i-- ) {
if( els.name==='check' && els.checked ) {
flag = true; break;
}
}
alert( flag ? 'There is a checkbox checked' : 'Try again.' );

document.forms['form_name'].elements['check'] will give you a nodeList of your checkboxes.
You can then iterate them with a loop checking for the "checked" value to be true. If
none are true, nothing is checked.
