    Custom Validator for a checkboxlist control – Strange behavior.

    I am attempting to create an ASP.NET Custom Validator javascript for a
    checkboxlist control. My goal is to limit the total number of
    selections to be 1 - 5 at most. My problem is that I get a null
    reference when I attempt to retrieve an object for an individual list
    item, which of course results
    in an "object required" error message.

    Anyone know what to do? tnx in advance

    -Itai.



    Here is the code:


    <HEAD>

    ....


    <script language="JavaS cript">

    function ChkMusicTasteSe lection(source, arguments) {

    var t = 0;

    for(var i = 0; i < 31; i++) {

    var chkbx = document.all.it em("musicTaste_ " + i);

    // document.write( chkbx) --> null (getElementById () produces the
    same effect)

    if(chkbx.checke d == true){
    t++;
    }
    }

    if((t <= 5) && (t >= 1)) {

    arguments.IsVal id = true;
    }
    else {
    arguments.IsVal id = false
    }
    }
    }

    </script>

    </HEAD>


    <body>
    <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">

    ...


    <TD style="HEIGHT: 188px"><asp:che ckboxlist id="musicTaste "
    runat="server"
    Width="640px" RepeatColumns=" 5" RepeatDirection ="Horizontal ">

    <asp:ListItem Value="1">60's</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="2">70's</asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Value="3">80's</asp:ListItem>

    ...




    Rendered Output: (browser ie6sp1)


    <TD style="HEIGHT: 188px"><table id="musicTaste " border="0"
    style="width:64 0px;">
    <tr>
    <td><input id="musicTaste_ 0" type="checkbox" name="musicTast e:0"
    /><label for="musicTaste _0">60's</label></td>
    <td><input id="musicTaste_ 1" type="checkbox" name="musicTast e:1"
    /><label for="musicTaste _1">70's</label></td>
    <td><input id="musicTaste_ 2" type="checkbox" name="musicTast e:2"
    /><label for="musicTaste _2">80's</label></td>

    I did not experience the same problem when I
    failed to visit the URL you did not supply.

    I cannot see what you are on about.
