What exactly you want to validate.  
Keep the one default value selected for radio buttons, check boxes and list box.  
there is no need to validate. bcoz u already have the values

i think there is no need to validate. just keep some default value checked/selected:

> \<b\>Gender:\</b\>&nbsp;&nbsp;  
> Male:&nbsp;\<INPUT Name =“RadOption” TYPE=“radio” checked\>  
> &nbsp;&nbsp;  
> Female:&nbsp;\<INPUT TYPE=“radio” Name=“RadOption”\>

> \<b\>Level:\</b\>\</TD\>  
> \<TD width=“95” height=“33”\>  
> \<select size=“1” name=“Level”\>  
> \<option\>Select Level\</option\>  
> \<option selected\>TAFE\</option\>  
> \<option\>Under Graduate\</Option\>  
> \<option\>Post Graduate\</option\>  
> \</select\>

> \<b\>TAFE\</b\>\<INPUT Name = “ChkBox” TYPE=“checkbox” value=“ON” checked\>  
> &nbsp;  
> \<b\>Business\</b\>\<INPUT TYPE=“checkbox” Name = “ChkBox” value=“ON”\>&nbsp;  
> \<b\>Science\</b\>\<INPUT TYPE=“checkbox” Name = “ChkBox” value=“ON”\>&nbsp;  
> \<b\>Nursing\</b\>\<INPUT TYPE=“checkbox” Name = “ChkBox” value=“ON”\>&nbsp;  
> \<b\>Computing\</b\>\<INPUT TYPE=“checkbox” Name = “ChkBox” value=“ON”\>&nbsp;\<BR\>

Just over the code and thought about i really need it to validate, here is an example i found but using a different code. [Computer Tech Support – Javascript, HTML, Stylesheets, Networking – Software for Math, Physics, and VPN](http://www.felgall.com/javatip2.htm) now how do i make my code do that for list boxes, check boxes, and radio.

im going somewhere wrong in the code
