I am trying to validate a form before submitting it. Essentially I am checking to see if at least one of the checkboxes has been ticked. If it has not been ticked I want to display an alert which points this fact out.


The one thing that I am having issue with is owing to the action on my form and the fact that I am calling my validation function fromthe submit button, the user is brought through to the next page regardless of whether or not they have selected a checkbox or not.

I suppose that what I am really wondering is how to make the submit bomb out if certain criteria have not been met.

if anyone can offer any assistance it would be great
