in the form i have made there are nearly 10 options for a question
which are checkboxes
ex= type of operation system = windows, windows xp, etc...
i have given different names for all these checkboxes the validation
is the user has to select atleast one checkbox. presently i am using
the following code which is too long for the browser to process
var os1=document.enquiryform.os1.checked where os1 is the value of
the operating system and the same for the remaining checkboxes
if(!(os1 || os2 || os3 || .... os10))
{
alert("Please select any one of the operating systems");
return false
}
this code works however i would like a more efficient code to do
this validation
also in the form action i am calling a php file, presently i am
reading the value of all the checboxes and concatinating into one
variable. the php code is =
$os1 = !empty($_POST["os1"]);
if($os1) $os1="DOS, "; else $os1= ""; and for the remaining
checkboxes
$os= $os1.$os2 . .......... os10;
please advice about the code in javascript and how to read these
checkboxes in php.
thanks.
