//following line does not work
//frmvalidator.addValidation("designtype1","checked","Please check as least one box for the Work needed area." );

I am having problems getting the frmvalidator.addValidation function to work for a checkbox is there a way I can just use the existing frmvalidator.addValidation function for a checkbox??

You can add a custom validation for checkboxes as in the code below. Check out the link below for a complete list of validation descriptors.

function DoCustomValidation()
{
  var frm = document.forms["quoteform"];
  if(!frm.designtype1.checked)
  {
    alert('The checkbox is not checked!');
    return false;
  }
  else
  {
    return true;
  }
}

frmvalidator.setAddnlValidationFunction("DoCustomValidation");
