I have put this in my html form  
\</head\>  
\<script language=“javascript”\>  
function docElem(elem){  
return document.getElementById(elem);  
}

```
        function checkTerms(){             
          if (docElem("cbTerms").checked == false){
               docElem("termsMsg").innerHTML = "You have to agree with the terms and conditions";                  
          }else{
               docElem("termsMsg").innerHTML = "";
               docElem("frmTerms").submit();
          }
      }
    &lt;/script&gt;

```

\<title\>

\<form name=“postanadd” method=“post” action=“handle\_form.php” id=“frmTerms”\>\<div id=“termsMsg”\>\</div\>
