this is not the same as a checkbox group.


Server validations cannot be used to validate checkboxes used in a multiple insert behavior like this.


the problem is that the checkboxes are dynamically named.


to work around this, add the following hidden form element just before the submit button:

php:
<input name="checkCount" type="hidden" id="checkCount" value="<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1?>" />




and add this code at line 1:

php:
<?php

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    
$checked=0;
    
$iterations = isset($_POST['checkCount'])?$_POST['checkCount']:0;
    for(
$i=0$i<=$_POST['checkCount'];$i++) {
        if(isset(
$_POST['CheckboxGroup1_'.$i]) && $_POST['CheckboxGroup1_'.$i] != ""$checked++;
    }
    
}
?>




then use numeric validation. set the server variable to:
$checked


set the minimum number to 1 and the maximum to 10000
