Rayna,
Check out qForms:
http://www.pengoworks.com/qForms/
It's a JavaScript framework for working w/forms. There isn't a built in
validation method for this, but here's one that'll work with qForms:
function _f_isCheckboxLenLT(len){
_param(arguments[0], 5, "number");
if( this.value.split(",").length >= len )
this.error = "The " + this.description + " field must
have less than " + len + " values selected.";
}
_addValidator("isCheckboxLenLT", _f_isCheckboxLenLT);
Now all you'll need to do is attach the method to your form field:
o.fieldName.isCheckboxLenLT(5);
(Where "o" is the qForm object and "fieldName" is the name of the
checkbox field.)
