@so_is_thisDec 02.2006 — Are you saying you wish to validate that exactly two options are selected?

That would be as follows:
<i>
</i>var sel = document.forms['formname'].elements['selectname'];
var opt = sel.options;
var x, z = 0, len = opt.length;
for (x=0; x&lt;len; ++x)
{
if (opt[x].selected) ++z;
}
if (z != 2)
{
alert("Two options must be selected.");
sel.focus();
return false;
}
×

Success!
