I am attempting to create a Custom Validator client script for a
checkboxlist control.
My goal is to limit the total number of selections to be 1 - 5 at
most.
My problem is that I get a null reference when I attempt to retrieve
an object for an individual
list item, which of course results in an "object required" error
message.
Anyone know what to do? tnx in advance

Here is the code:
<HEAD>
....
<script language="JavaScript">
function ChkMusicTasteSelection(source, arguments) {
var t = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < 31; i++) {
var chkbx = document.all.item("musicTaste_" + i);
// document.write(chkbx) --> null (getElementById() produces the
same effect)
if(chkbx.checked == true){
t++;
}
}
if((t <= 5) && (t >= 1)) {
arguments.IsValid = true;
}
else {
arguments.IsValid = false
}
}
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">

<TD style="HEIGHT: 188px"><asp:checkboxlist id="musicTaste"
