Another creative solution there.

Very handy little script!</p> <p>I figured out a simple work around too: instead of a big list of checkboxes (12, in this case), offer three drop-down menus, each with all possible choices :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limiting-the-amount-of-checkboxes-that-can-be-checked#post-6990 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:21:56 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 6990@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There's not a built-in way to do this at the moment, but you can do this with a couple of lines of jQuery.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery.noConflict(); jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $.fn.limit = function(n) { var self = this; this.click(function(){ return (self.filter(&quot;:checked&quot;).length&lt;=n); }); } $(&quot;ul#input_1_15 li input:checkbox&quot;).limit(3); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>It worked well in my tests.. just swap the "input_1_15" for the actual list ID from your form and you should be good to go. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limiting-the-amount-of-checkboxes-that-can-be-checked#post-6984 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:55:16 +0000 TiborP 6984@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there a simple way to limit the amount of checkboxes that can be checked? For example, I have a form with 8 checkboxes, from which a user can choose to check a maximum of three.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
