form with checkboxes


Pavlos1316

Recommended Posts

Hi to all (quite new still)

 

I have a form with checkboxes. It works fine.

It has 24 columns. 8 rows X 3 colums each.

 

I need when the form is submited to check if:

 

1. every row has at least 1 column checked

 

2. there are no more than 9 columns checked.

 

That means one column checked in every row exept one that will have 2 columns checked.

 

Can anyone help me? 

 

Thanks

 

P.S. cause until now I use only php where do I place javascript code? (begining, end?)
