javascript - validating checkboxes in loop
I am having trouble with my code. I am generating a form from an oracle database. I want to validate my form when I hit submit to check to see if any of the checkboxes have been selected. If none of them have been selected, then a pop up message will occur. Right now, if I have a checkbox selected, my message box pops up (which it shouldn't) and then it goes to the my insert_employee.asp which it isn't supposed to. Any help for pointing me in the right directions would be great.
VB Code:
<!-- Begin
function validform() {
var count
count = document.AddEmployee.hidcount.value
//alert (count);
for ( var i = 0; i <= count ; ++i )
if (document.AddEmployee.addempcheckbox.value == false) {
alert ("No employees were selected!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
function goSearch() {
if (validform()) {
document.AddEmployee.action = "Insert_Employee.asp"
document.AddEmployee.submit()
}
return false;
}
// End -->
