Extending Eloqua 10 Form Validation

This post is inspired by a question asked about validating in group of check boxes in a form. While some solutions were given, I thought I could take it further and actually get validation to work the way that out-of-the-box validation works in Eloqua. Here is the result.

Creating the Eloqua form

I used E10 to create my simple text form. To create the group of checkboxes, just select the 'checkboxes' option in the left-hand column under the heading 'CUSTOM FIELDS'.

In the Field Settings section, note the HTML name of your checkbox group. In my example, the name is 'checkboxes' (you'll need this later).
