Validating Checkbox Group

Hi, is it possible to add client validation to a group of checkboxes all with the same name but with different values so that the user has to select at least one of them?

See the file attached that was created by adding a checkbox group in DW

Thanks

Yes, you can use Required validation on the check box group.

Thanks Jason I tried that but it only seems to be processing the form if the first checkbox of the group is ticked

I have attached the updated page

change the following line:

if (formElement.length && inputType.toLowerCase()!="radio" && inputType.toLowerCase()!="select") formElement=formElement[0];

to:

if (formElement.length && inputType.toLowerCase()!="radio" && inputType.toLowerCase()!="select" && inputType.toLowerCase()!="checkbox") formElement=formElement[0];
