I am creating a game using html, php, javascript, mysql. I can do the database all that is working but the problem I ran across is this, while I was doing more tweaking i got half way thru the form and accidently hit the return button on my keyboard and entered the data to the database incomplete. How can I prevent this? 2 i have a classifcation of races with a column of 7 check boxes to choose the class the problem is i can check all of them is there a way to let u only select 1???? I hope that's clear enough I google but nothing i could come up with seem close to what I am experiencing!

Thanks In Advance,

This question would probably be more relevant in any of the subforums relating to the languages you are using, but not in the Software Development forum.

Prevent the incomplete data by validating it before it makes it to the database. If you only want users to be able to select 1 of your 7 boxes uses radio buttons instead of check boxes.

In addition to what Aric posted, also validate on the server side before you enter anything into the database.
