hi,

I have a group of checkboxes like this

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="chk12" id="chk12" value="Yes">Quote 12
<input type="checkbox" name="chk11" id="chk11" value="Yes">Quote 11
<input type="checkbox" name="chk10" id="chk10" value="Yes">Quote 10
<input type="checkbox" name="chk9" id="chk9" value="Yes">Quote 9
<input type="checkbox" name="chk8" id="chk8" value="Yes">Other

<input type="textbox" name="chk8othertext" id="chk8othertext" value="">

If the user doesnt select one of them then i want to fire an alert

if the user selects Other checkbox and doesnt enter a value in the other textbox then fire an alert

here is my code

Code:

if (document.frm1.chk12.checked == false && document.frm1.chk11.checked == false && document.frm1.chk10.checked == false && document.frm1.chk9.checked == false && document.frm1.chk8.checked == false )
		{
		alert ('You didn\'t choose any of the checkboxes!');
		return false;
		}
	else
		{
		return true;
		}

If(document.frm1.chk8.checked ==true)
	{
		if(document.frm1.chk8othertext.value =="")
			{
			alert("enter a value");
			}
	}

but the code is not working

any idea

todd

You never get to your second IF statement. Remove the else clause of hte first IF.

what do you mean not working? are you getting an error message?

Assuming that your code is in some Event Procedure, Wolffy is right. The way you have it, the first If statement either returns True or False, but in either case it returns, which means bye-bye, it's done.
