Multiple Checkboxes - AT LEAST one required

I have a form that has several radio button and checkboxes.  I do not want the form to be submitted until all the required fields and at least one checkbox are checked.  Once complete, the form will be emailed to me.

 

The required fields work like a charm.  However, I can't seem to get the checkboxes to do the same....checked or unchecked, the form still attempts to email me (see example).  

 

I've read several older posts that were shared but I'm missing something.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Below is the script:

 

var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (f!=null && f.type!="button" && f.required && f.valueAsString==f.defaultValue) {
emptyFields.push(f.name);
}
}
if (emptyFields.length>0) {

app.alert("You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));

} else this.mailDoc({cTo: "diane.hands@wellstone.com",cSubject: "Staff Enrollment Form"});

It has to be done separately. What are the names of those check-boxes?

The boxes are named "Check Box21.0.0 through Check Box21.0.16".

Before this line:

 

if (emptyFields.length>0) {

 

Add this:

 

var isBoxChecked = false;
for (var i=0; i<=16; i++) {
	if (this.getField("Check Box21.0."+i).valueAsString!="Off") isBoxChecked = true;
}
if (isBoxChecked==false) emptyFields.push("At least one box from Check Box21.0.1 - Check Box21.0.16");

 

You can adjust the description of the check-boxes group (the text in the last line) to something more meaningful, of course.
