Answer 1

The following should give you the total number of checked checkboxes on the page

var count = $(':checkbox:checked').length;

If you want to restrict it only to a given CheckBoxList you could assign this checkboxlist some class and then:

var count = $('.someClass :checkbox:checked').length;

Thanks Darin! I was trying to go about it in a for loop and return false for no post back, but this is perfect. – Collaborate
