How do I validate checkboxes and show all user input in an alert?
Question
I need to add a function to validate the checkboxes. I have tried so many options and I am totally stuck. Also, I am able to show the user's name, address, and other info once the submit button is clicked but I need to also add the size of the pizza they selected and the toppings in the alert. This is what I have so far:

<head>
<title>HTML and JavaScript</title>
<script>
/*nff Add the doClear function to clear the information entered by the user and enter the information to be cleared when the clear entries button is clicked at the bottom of the Web Page.*/

Use http://jqueryvalidation.org/
It is the best plugin for JQuery I found, it works perfectly and it is very simple.
In the website you can find examples and how to do exactly what you need.
Example:
$().ready(function() {
// validate the comment form when it is submitted
$("#commentForm").validate();
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
$("#signupForm").validate({
rules: {
firstname: "required",
lastname: "required",
username: {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
password: {
required: true,
minlength: 5
},
confirm_password: {
required: true,
minlength: 5,
equalTo: "#password"
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
topic: {
required: "#newsletter:checked",
minlength: 2
},
agree: "required"
},
messages: {
firstname: "Please enter your firstname",
lastname: "Please enter your lastname",
username: {
required: "Please enter a username",
minlength: "Your username must consist of at least 2 characters"
},
password: {
required: "Please provide a password",
minlength: "Your password must be at least 5 characters long"
},
confirm_password: {
required: "Please provide a password",
minlength: "Your password must be at least 5 characters long",
equalTo: "Please enter the same password as above"
},
email: "Please enter a valid email address",
agree: "Please accept our policy"
}
});
