I did a form, I created a checkbox under the same name 'lead_role' but I can't seem to access it in my javascript validation.
This is the code in my HTML page CODE <input name="lead_role" id="lead_role" type="checkbox" class="style30" value="1"> And this is the validation I am testing out CODE alert(document.form1.lead_role.checked); My browser returns me an 'undefined' alert message. The only way I was successful in accessing the element is using the getElementById() method but that only gets the very first instance of the checkbox. Can anyone help me out?

I made this code and tested it out in my browser, Firefox:
HTML <head></head> <body> <form name="form1"> <input name="lead_role" type="checkbox" class="style30" checked> </form> <script> if (document.form1.lead_role.checked==1) { alert(document.form1.lead_role.checked); } </script></body> I had to replace value="1" with checked because the latter worked at checking the box but the former didn't. My guesses would be:

I don't think it is a problem you are saying. This is where my javascript is located.
CODE <head><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="validation.js"></script></head> This is how my form was created. CODE <form name="form1" id="form1" onsubmit="return validate();" action="register_process.asp"> Please reply me ASAP as I am rushing for time. I have attached the form as well as the javascript, hope to get a reply soon.

You can not use or it will return an error if you try to use a form element or any object that belongs to the body section of an html until it is instantiated unless you load the code on the opening <body> tag using the onload="" event.
So if you want to set the value of the checkbox do so by using the event onload="" in the <body> tag. By the way the attribute name="" is not supported by XHTML 1.0 |

I have found a solution to the problem, but I don't know if it was actually the solution.
I used the same name for every checkbox meaning 5 checkbox being named as lead_role or something. I name it as different seperate names, and it works perfectly fine. Thanks for all your help anyways
