ASP Page with Java validation - Validation doesn't work.

I don't know what I"m doing wrong? My object is to have this page pop a messaging stating please make you selection to continue if someone has not checked a checkbox.  I'd be willing to make it work anyway somebody can explain well enough for me to do.  I've read several tutorial but haven't had any luck so far.

Thanks in advance.

Asp page form:   This page automatically poplulates checkboxes based on the contents of a database table.  If someon tries to click "Next" without checking anything it needs to pop message.

<Form Name="frmoptions" Type="submit" Method="post" action=Request08Test.asp onsubmit="return Validate()">
