Is this thread done ? Should I repost?
Russell
I do appreciate your efforts.
Thank you.
Ok, you will have to wait for someone that works with JavaScript more
then
I do to help you change
it to meet you needs.

Thomas,
I would rather not use drop down boxes. So the alternative you
suggested
is
ok by me. I will be using it in 50 - 60 pages that all have similar
choices
(1-3 checkboxes) and all the check boxes will be similarly named.
Of course I do not know how to go about doing it, so your help is, as
usual
greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Russell
If you want to use checkboxes and check client-side you are going to
have
to change / duplicate the
JavaScript code to check each checkbox so that the checking function
has a
corresponding name for
each check box you want to have checked.
Alternatively, can you use a drop down, where you can set it so that
one
item has to be selected?

Well the author didn't have a solution... Anyone else? All I want
to
do
is
make sure one of 2 or 3 checkboxes is checked off. All the
checkboxes
must
have unique names.
Much appreciated,
Russell
Thanks Thomas
It is not a FP issue either, it is a cart issue, since you must
name
each
checkbox uniquely, the
author may have a solution.

No I haven' to. I don't see it as a cart issue. The cart
works
fine.
I
would just like to prevent submission to the cart with empty
check
boxes.
Its not a big deal, but to some, I suspect it might be
annoying.
Not really knowing JavaScript, but having seen what can be
done,
I
didn't
think it would be too difficult to check for input before
submitting
the
forms.
Any other suggestions how to do this?
Thank You.
Russell
Have you contact your shopping cart vendor for help with this
issue?

Thanks Stefan.
I changed the names of the checkboxes and that script works
fine.
Problem is
my shopping cart expects the checkbox names to be
multi-item1,
multi-item2,
etc. I can't change those names and still have the shopping
cart
place a
checked item in the cart. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Russell
Are all your check boxes in your form named checkbox per
the
sample
code
<input type="checkbox" value="Hank Aaron"
name="checkbox">Hank
Aaron<br>
That's what checkbox_form.checkbox.length is looking for

| But that script proved too complicated for me. I was
able
to
get
it
to
do
| what I wanted in its "own" page but upon pasting into my
page
it
did
not
| work .
|
| I pasted this:
|
| <script Language="JavaScript">
| <!--
| function checkbox_checker()
| {
|
| // set var checkbox_choices to zero
|
| var checkbox_choices = 0;
|
| // Loop from zero to the one minus the number of
checkbox
button
selections
| for (counter = 0; counter <
checkbox_form.checkbox.length;
counter++)
| {
|
| // If a checkbox has been selected it will return true
| // (If not it will return false)
| if (checkbox_form.checkbox[counter].checked)
| { checkbox_choices = checkbox_choices + 1; }
|
| }
| if (checkbox_choices < 1 )
| {
| // If there were less then selections made display an
alert
box
| alert("Please make a selection.")
| return (false);
| }
| }
|
| -->
| </script>
|
| And this :
|
| <FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="
http://www.myurl/cgi-bin/cart.pl"
onsubmit="return
| checkbox_checker()" name="checkbox_form">
|
|
| And get the results :
checkbox_form.checkbox.length
is
null
or
not
| an object.
|
| Any other hints for me?
|
| Thanks
