Checkboxes are differently from radio buttons. While radio buttons only allow the user to select one option at a time, checkboxes allow the users to select multiple options. We can write a JavaScript function to verify which checkbox or boxes is\/are checked, as follows:<\/p>\n

function checkstatus()<\/p>\n

{var msg=” “;
\nfor(count=0;count<4;count++)
\n{if (MyForm.MyCheckbox[count].checked)
\nmsg=msg+” “+MyForm.MyCheckbox[count].value;}
