Making CheckBox Selected

[anilreddy76]

Hi,

I'm having the following javascript code,after all the checkboxes are unslected,I'll display the alert to user saying that "Atleast one must be selected",but the checkbox is becoming unselected after throwing Alert,how to make check box to remain selected after throwing this alert.
I'm calling this java script function in the onClick event of checkbox.

var checkSelected = false;
for (i = 0; i < planForm.locationOptions.length; i++) {
if (planForm.locationOptions[i].checked) {
checkSelected = true
document.planForm.action='refreshPlanView.do';docu ment.planForm.submit();
document.getElementById("refreshing").style.displa y="block";
}
}
if (!checkSelected) {
alert("At least ONE Location must be selected!");
return false;
}
return true;
}

Please advise..

Thanks,
Kumar

uh wouldn't you have the alert, then on the next line code to make the checkbox selected?

I didn't exactly understand the question/answer what you are trying to say?

I'm not too good with explaining lately.
Sorry

If I'm understanding correctly, the alert is being thrown because no checkboxes are selected so this means they were all unselected before the alert anyway?

I think you could try

passing the checkbox to the function so declare the function something like

function checkboxcheck(obj)

then in your checkboxes onclick="checkboxcheck(this)"

and finally

if (!checkSelected) {
alert("At least ONE Location must be selected!");
obj.checked = true;
return false;
}


This should keep the last checkbox checked at all times.

Cheers
