Max,

Yes, it worked. And I actually do have four seperate groups of radio buttons, with 6-8 choices per group. It was a real pain to verify, that's why I was looking for something easier! The loop is definitely easier than listing out 32 seperate "if" statements! Thanks again!

A method like that would be a lot easier. An it'a be cleaner too. Just imagine a whole lott'a groups of checkboxes of radio buttons... If you had to check each group for one, that'a be a lot of loops.

Did it work?

Max,

Thanks for your reply! That's a good idea, and definitely is better than listing all the cases one by one. Should have thought of that myself! I still think they should have provided a statement like:

if(document.someForm.year.checked==false)

By leaving off the index it checks the whole list. Would have made things easier.

Thanks again!

use a loop...

&lt;script language=javascript&gt;
<!--
function Validate() {
empty="yes"
// replace Number with the number of thingies
for (i=0; i < Number; i++) {

if (document.Form.thingy[i].checked==true) {
empty="no"
}
} //END for (i=0; i < Number; i++)

if(empty=="yes"){
alert("Please select a thingy!");
}

} //END function Validate()
//-->
&lt;/script&gt;

Check the syntax and stuff, JavaScript isn't my strong point.
