Menu
Good morning. I am a complete newbie so if I am putting this in the wrong place please let me know. I am not a web developer. I have been asked to work on a web form at work and I am struggling through it.
I did the form in html…..that was not hard. Now I am doing validation on some of the fields with a javascript example that I got from a former co-worker. I am just tweaking it to make it work with my form. I have all the fields validated successfully except for the checkboxes. My current co-worker is going to take the info and send it in an e-mail using .asp. He told me to name all the checkbox fields the same thing to make his part easier. The problem is my validation method does not like duplicate names so this is not working. There are probably other ways to validate but I would like to stay with this method if possible since it works for all the other fields and since I am very green at this stuff.
I have included all my pertinent code below. Any help is appreciated.
