Making sure at least one checkbox is checked

Question

You should avoid having two checkboxes with the same name if you plan to reference them like document.FC.c1. If you have multiple checkboxes named c1 how will the browser know which you are referring to?

Here's a non-jQuery solution to check if any checkboxes on the page are checked.

var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
var checkedOne = Array.prototype.slice.call(checkboxes).some(x => x.checked);

You need the Array.prototype.slice.call part to convert the NodeList returned by document.querySelectorAll into an array that you can call some on.
