Limit number of selections in Check Box (Multiple)

17 years 10 months ago #14018 by Himgoku
Hi,

is there a way to set a maximum of selections in a field with a Check Box (Multiple)? Let's say I've got a field named "skills" with 70 possible values, but the user may only select a maximum of 25?

Is there also a way to set a minimum?

thanks for any suggestion

No way to do either one.
A plugin could probably do this for specific fields.

Thanks Nick for responding swiftly....
I just hope someone here wants to help me by creating this plug-in for me...I'm a designer, not a real programmer.:dry:

You can do this in a following way (for example)

-take extended selects plugin (see 3rd party developer announcements)
-change the funcj.js file so that it works like this one www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/forms/article.php/3479181
-rename and publish your result here

Thanks Mikko for directing me.
I/ve taken a look at the funcj.js file and it's like abracadabra to me. I do know HTML en CSS and I can decipher some JavaScript, but letting me fool around with it is like having a toddler fool around with a bad breeded pitbul:
I might have some fun, but some rather nasty things might happen!
:side:

I'm afraid I have to wait when a coder shows up...

I'm happy to make a (small) donation for anyone who wants to program this plugin though!

Hi there,

I am also trying to find a way to have multi check box limit.

I don't understand how to use the extended script thingy.

I feel that it is essential to have limit to multi check box.

Is there anyway to implement it?

Thanks
