I have a repeating region withing an asp page, within each repeating region there is a form with 3 checkboxes and a listbox.

I need some js that will only allow either

- any or all of the checkboxes to be ticked.
- or a selection made from the listbox.
- or no checkbox or list selection chosen.

can anyone point me in the right direction ?

thanks in advance.

So what you want is not to allow anything to be chosen from the list box if any checkbox is selected and vice-versa?

Sorry - I hadn't read the title of your post. I was trying to clarify from the points in your post.

This should work for you:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
		var selDisabled = cbsDisabled = false;

		function setCheckboxState(disabledValue) {
			var cbs = document.forms['myForm'].getElementsByTagName('input');
			for (var loop=0; loop<cbs.length; loop++) {
				if (cbs[loop].type == 'checkbox') {
					cbs[loop].disabled = disabledValue;
					cbs[loop].checked = false;
				}
			}
		}

		function checkChanged(cbObj) {

			var cbs = document.forms['myForm'].getElementsByTagName('input');
			var  anyChecked = false;
			for (var loop=0; loop<cbs.length; loop++) {
				if (cbs[loop].type == 'checkbox' && cbs[loop].checked) {
					anyChecked = true;
					break;
				}
			}

			if (selDisabled && !anyChecked) {
				selDisabled = false;
				document.forms['myForm'].elements['mySelect'].disabled = false;
				document.forms['myForm'].elements['mySelect'].selectIndex = 0;
			} else {
				selDisabled = true;
				document.forms['myForm'].elements['mySelect'].disabled = true;
			}
		}

		function selChanged(selValue) {
			if (selValue == 'opt0' && cbsDisabled) {
				cbsDisabled = false;
				setCheckboxState(false);
			} else {
				cbsDisabled = true;
				setCheckboxState(true);
			}
		}
	//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<form name="myForm">
		<input type="checkbox" name="myCheck1" onclick="checkChanged(this);" />Checkbox 1<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="myCheck2" onclick="checkChanged(this);" />Checkbox 2<br />
		<select name="mySelect" onchange="selChanged(this.value);">
			<option value="opt0" selected="selected"></option>
			<option value="opt1">Option 1</option>
			<option value="opt2">Option 2</option>
		</select>
	</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks for your help Dan,

It sort of works but i realise I incorrectly desribed my initial problem, My asp repeat region lies within the form, each set of form elements for each record is being assigned a unique ID by using a counter function in asp - So if I check one check box it disables all the list boxes for every record.

so for example, the checkbox below will have the name "31.front" as the asp variable appends a unique number to each set of form componenets

<input name="<%=iCnt%>.front" onclick="checkChanged(this);" type="checkbox">

Is there a way to pass theis variable into the javascript so that it only disables the listbox on that record etc ?

Hope you understand

Thanks again

Mark

If you give your forms different names, then this will work (a few small additions - basically passing the form name around):

Code: 
<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
		var selDisabled = cbsDisabled = false;

		function setCheckboxState(disabledValue, formName) {
			var cbs = document.forms[formName].getElementsByTagName('input');
			for (var loop=0; loop<cbs.length; loop++) {
				if (cbs[loop].type == 'checkbox') {
					cbs[loop].disabled = disabledValue;
					cbs[loop].checked = false;
				}
			}
		}

		function checkChanged(cbObj) {
			var formName = cbObj.form.name;

			var cbs = document.forms[formName].getElementsByTagName('input');
			var  anyChecked = false;
			for (var loop=0; loop<cbs.length; loop++) {
				if (cbs[loop].type == 'checkbox' && cbs[loop].checked) {
					anyChecked = true;
					break;
				}
			}

			if (selDisabled && !anyChecked) {
				selDisabled = false;
				document.forms[formName].elements['mySelect'].disabled = false;
				document.forms[formName].elements['mySelect'].selectIndex = 0;
			} else {
				selDisabled = true;
				document.forms[formName].elements['mySelect'].disabled = true;
			}
		}

		function selChanged(selValue, formName) {
			if (selValue == 'opt0' && cbsDisabled) {
				cbsDisabled = false;
				setCheckboxState(false, formName);
			} else {
				cbsDisabled = true;
				setCheckboxState(true, formName);
			}
		}
	//-->
	</script>
</head>

<body>
	<form name="myForm1">
		<input type="checkbox" name="myCheck1" onclick="checkChanged(this);" />Checkbox 1<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="myCheck2" onclick="checkChanged(this);" />Checkbox 2<br />
		<select name="mySelect" onchange="selChanged(this.value, this.form.name);">
			<option value="opt0" selected="selected"></option>
			<option value="opt1">Option 1</option>
			<option value="opt2">Option 2</option>
		</select>
	</form>

	<form name="myForm2">
		<input type="checkbox" name="myCheck1" onclick="checkChanged(this);" />Checkbox 1<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="myCheck2" onclick="checkChanged(this);" />Checkbox 2<br />
		<select name="mySelect" onchange="selChanged(this.value, this.form.name);">
			<option value="opt0" selected="selected"></option>
			<option value="opt1">Option 1</option>
			<option value="opt2">Option 2</option>
		</select>
	</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps,
Dan

There is only one form, the form elements inside are created dynamically I'm not sure if this is going to be possible using js.

Thanks alot for your help anyway.
