how to use required field validator for checkbox or checkboxlist

There are no fields in the check box list to fill , So RequiredFiledValidator doesn't work for that control.

You have to use "CustomValidator" for CheckBoxList...Check this code..

function checkTemp(sender,args)
{
     for(var i=0;i<=document.getElementById("CheckBoxList1").firstChild.children.length-1;i++)
     {
          if(document.getElementById("CheckBoxList1").firstChild.children(i).cells(0).children(0).checked)=='true'
          alert('One is checked')
          args.IsValid=true
          return
 
     }
     alert('None is selected')
     args.IsValid=false
}
 
 
<asp:CustomValidator id="valcheckBoxTemp" runat="server" ClientValidationFunction="checkTemp" ErrorMessage="This is required control "></asp:CustomValidator>
