Hey all,

I have a form and I have a checkbox (and when this is checked i need to make sure that the textfield also has text in it before submitting)

Any ideas on a quick easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance 🙂

PS here is my code snippet of what i’ve tried:

```auto
if(form1.check2.checked==true){
alert("Please enter your email address");
return false;
} else if(form1.email.value != ""){
return true;
}

//this sits inside another function.

```
