Check for checkbox
Great script. I'm wondering how to check for radio buttons and checkboxes in a form to make sure a user has selected one?

check boxes / radio buttons
This is a wonderful script: clean, professional, deploys easy. But I haven't been able to discern the fix for check boxes / radio buttons. Where
can I find the documentation please?

check boxes / radio buttons
This is the code from validator.js.
else if (o_input.length > 0) // radiobuton
for (var n_index = 0; n_index < o_input.length; _index++)
if (o_input[n_index].checked) {
s_value = o_input[n_index].value; break;
}
But I saw nothing collateral in the form fields description structure, so I created:
'radiobutton':{'l':'Advertiser or Visitor','r':true,'f':'radiobutton','t':'t_radiobutton',},
The HTML is:
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="middle" id="t_radiobutton"> </td>
<td colspan="2">Advertiser<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" value="radiobutton">
Visitor
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" value="radiobutton"></td>
</tr>
What am I missing?

I have checkboxes working, both as <b>isolated</b> one off elements and as <b>collective groups</b>.
my collective example:
<form....>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="fObtainedKnowledge" value="Supervision" id="fHowSupervision"> <label
for="fHowSupervision">Supervision</label></p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="fObtainedKnowledge" value="Other%20Training" id="fHowTraining"> <label
for="fHowTraining">Other training</label></p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="fObtainedKnowledge" value="Reading" id="fHowRead"> <label
for="fHowRead">Reading</label></p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="fObtainedKnowledge" value="Practical%20Experience" id="fHowPractical">nbsp; <label
for="fHowPractical">Practical experience</label></p>
....</form>
In the example above I want them to make at LEAST one checkbox choice. The group is collectively named <b>"fObtainedKnowledge"</b> so I
get a single array of values posted by the form.
In line with HTML 4 and accessibility each element in the collective group have a unique ID e.g fHowPractical, fHowRead, fHowTraining .....
The <b>Tiagra definition entry for this field group</b> is:
.....
'fObtainedKnowledge':{'l':'Where you obtained the knowledge','r':true,'t':'labelIDtoHighlight'},
.....
This forces at least one checkbox to be ticked and if none are ticked the HTML element named ID="labelIDtoHighlight" will be flagged to the
user...
There is an obvious issue here if you desire to highlight/flag all elements within the collective group as the code only supports the identification
of a single element ID for the 'flag' function.
I have a solution though, I wrote new code to support the passing of an array of ID names for the 'l': "labelID" function.

Care to share katattack?
I'm not a programmer, but I can find my way around HTML and Flash quite well. I need to check a form to ensure that a set of 5 checkboxes have been
selected, before the form gets submitted, and the viewer is taken to a "congratulations" page. Care to share your "code" on how that might be
done?
Appreciated immensely, in advance.
Here's my form code:
<form action="" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="Survey" class="style9" id="Survey">
<p>Take our (required) short survey... </p>
<p class="text">
<input name="income" type="checkbox" id="income" value="income yes">
<span class="style10">Can you prove (verify) your income?</span></p>
<p class="text">
<input name="residence" type="checkbox" id="residence" value="residence yes">
<span class="style10">Can you prove (verify) your residence?</span></p>
<p class="text">
<input name="drivers_licence" type="checkbox" id="drivers_licence" value="driver's licence">
Do you have a valid driver's license?</p>
<p class="text">
<input name="insurable" type="checkbox" id="insurable" value="insurable yes">
Are you insurable?</p>
<p class="text">
<input name="downpayment" type="checkbox" id="downpayment" value="downpayment yes">
Do you have a minimum of $299 (+tax=$344) for a down payment?</p>
<p class="text">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset">
</p>
</form>

I've managed to implement katattack's code, however the resulting parameters passed to the CGI script on the form don't appear to work. The problem
is that if two checkboxes are checked, then two variables of the same name are passed.
Using katattach's example, if Supervision and Reading were checked, then the parameters passed will be
mailer.cgi?fObtainedKnowledge=Supervision&fObtainedKnowledge=Reading
So how is the CGI supposed to be able to process that properly? All I get when I look at that variable is the value "Reading".
Anyone successfuly implemented checkbox validation? Unfortunately, it's not in the documentation?
David.

Ok answering my own question. The answer is it depends on the language used. I'm using Perl, so the syntax is:
my @fObtainedKnowledge = $query->param("fObtainedKnowledge");
Then I can address each of them as $fObtainedKnowledge[0] for the first one or $fObtainedKnowledge[1] for the 2nd one and so on.
David.

Depending on how you're using the checkboxes in question, it should be like checking any other form element.
In my example, I have an array of checkboxes thus the code is as follows:
'chkCheckboxArray[]':{'l':'Error Title','r':true,'t':'t_txtCheckboxID'}

Look at the date of the last message.

Please post an example then
As far as I know checkboxes are not supported in the latest version of Tigra Form Validator.
There is nothing in the documentation about setting it up.
Anyone have an example? I'll create a new thread if I need to...

I got it working with version 1.3.
The registered version that I have of Tigra Validator PRO is 1.1. The checkbox issue was fixed in version 1.2.
Unfortunately this means I must use either the Validator PRO 1.1 or the FREE Validator 1.3.
How do I get an upgraded version of PRO 1.3? I cannot find my registration information (it's been a couple years... perhaps we have to renew?)
It's been 72 hours since I submitted this to customer service with no resolution. I heard back from customer service and confirmed that I cannot
locate the registration # for 1.1.
At this time I do have checkboxes working, but I need to add custom locale Alert Confirmation messages that is only provided in the PRO editions.

The product comes with free upgrades during at least one year since the date of your purchase.
Usually we provide non-major version upgrades free of charge even after that free term expires.
To get the new version please submit a support ticket providing your order ID.
