The javascript syntax is document.form_name.elements['preq[]'][indx] -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Adv. Systems Design [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 March 2001 15:39 To: PHP List Subject: [PHP-DB] validating checkboxes Hello all: I have to validate that AT LEAST ONE checkbox is checked in a series of checkboxes...the checkboxes all use the name=preq[] so that when I process it, it will go into a php array...the problem is that I want to validate it using javascript and the [] in the object name (preq[]) causes problems in traversing the checkbox values to check if they are =true!! Any ideas? Validating on the PHP side is not an option because this page is part of a series of pages and I encounter the dreaded "post operation reload" problem if the user has to hit the back button.
