<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
function checkbox_checker()
{

// set var checkbox_choices to zero

var checkbox_choices = 0;

// Loop from zero to the one minus the number of checkbox button selections
for (counter = 0; counter < checkbox_form.checkbox.length; counter++)
{

// If a checkbox has been selected it will return true
// (If not it will return false)
if (checkbox_form.checkbox[counter].checked)
{ checkbox_choices = checkbox_choices + 1; }

}


if (checkbox_choices > 3 )
{
// If there were more than three selections made display an alert box 
msg="You're limited to only three selections.\n"
