just a followup, figured it out finally. its basically like the first
example, testing for a value, then testing for zero
var numSelected = 0;
jQuery.each($("#frmRequests").find('.attribs'),function() {
if($(this).val() != "") {
numSelected++;
}
});
if(numSelected == 0) {
$("#attribAlert").text("at least one attribute must be filled
in");
return false;
}
cheerz!
