From the code, I can find out you are using very basic level code for input field as well. Better try to user validation.js from JQuery. Easy to use and will solve your purpose I believe.If we talk about your code,

[LEFT][SIZE=2][COLOR=#00008B][FONT=Consolas]  [FONT=century gothic]
[/FONT]if[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000](!$[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]'input[type="checkbox"]'[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]).[/COLOR][COLOR=#00008B]is[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]':checked'[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])){ 
  // show your error message 
 }[/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]
