Simply do this with the first checkbox item in the group:
<cfinput type=checkbox name=mycheckbox required=yes message="you must click
at least one check box">
Then name all of your checkboxes "mycheckbox" (or the name of your choice).
If all of the check boxes are left blank, there will be a JavaScript
warning. If any one of them is checked, no warning.
I use this all of the time.
It will only work if the FIRST item is marked as REQUIRED. If it is any
other item, it doesn't work for some reason.
