Checkboxes in html5 - html

I need to add a section of code to a website. Using html5, I've added checkboxes with a submit button below to the website. I want to make it that in order to advance to the next page, one MUST first click the checkbox and then click the submit button. Currently, if the user DOES NOT click the checkbox, then the user is be able to advance to the next page. This should NOT happen. If the user does not click the checkbox, then the user should not advance to the next page. Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Accessories</h1>
<form name="input" action="random2_action.asp" method="get">
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">Would you like the car to speak to you?<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
If someone could tell me how to fix this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks

The required attribute is really useful in situations like this;
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car" required>Would you like the car to speak to you?<br /><br />

EDIT:
This won't work if the browser doesn't support HTML5. Here's a solution which works for the majority of the users.

Can someone explain me what its happening, how to solve it?
On opera its tottally fine for example...

You need to remove the example ... dots, and provide function checkForm(form) in between <script></script> tags that actually runs the javascript code to check it.

Advanced search interaction with HTML toolbar

I managed to make a youtube search bar using HTML which, when clicked, links user to the youtube page for whatever he typed in the bar.
However, for another part of the assignment, I needed to make a code that does the same thing using only HTML and CSS but the results should be within the year 2010-2019 (custom range). The website in question is https://www.worldscientific.com/search/advanced. I have tried searching for similar cases online but the solutions were either too complicated (involving PHP/bootstrap etc) or had no relevance at all. I have a feeling the solution is very simple but I am just stumped. Please try and explain in simple terms if possible and I have left the snippet of the youtube search bar code for an clearer idea of the level of 'complicatedness'.
<form id="vb_yt_search-form" action="http://www.youtube.com/results" method="get" target="_blank">
<input id="vb_yt_search-term" name="search_query" type="text" maxlength="128" placeholder="search"/>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
Is not really what you asked, but is doing the job.The code is searching on google rathen than youtube between a custom range 2010-2019. When you press the submit button, the href will update with text box value. (I know when you will press the submit open it will open an useless tab but I don't bother to fix it, just close and try to press on text)
<a id="test" href="https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A1%2F1%2F2010%2Ccd_max%3A1%2F1%2F2019&ei=5zBDXPf8Dof_swGM4bKADw&q=site%3Ayoutube.com+"> test </a>
<form id="vb_yt_search-form" action="return myFunction()" target="_blank">
<input id="vb_yt_search-term" type="text" maxlength="128"/>
<input type="submit" onclick="myFunction()" />
</form>
<script>
function myFunction(){
var value = document.getElementById('vb_yt_search-term').value;
document.getElementById("test").href="https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A1%2F1%2F2010%2Ccd_max%3A1%2F1%2F2019&ei=5zBDXPf8Dof_swGM4bKADw&q=site%3Ayoutube.com+"+value;
}

input type file invisible on page load

I have this problem Only on IE7 and IE8.
I have a shadowbox that contains an input type file in it.
When this shadowbox is loaded, the input file is invisible... until I mouse hover it.
It's a reall basic form with a really basic input file:
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" autocomplete="off">
<input type="file" name="img" onChange="$('#button_img').css('display','');" />
<input type="hidden" name="step_crop" value="1" />
<input type="submit" value="" />
</form>
I tried to delete everything on the file and only leave the form with one element which is, yeah, the evil input file, but still invisible on page load until I hover it.
Someone would have an idea ?
(Video link for the behavior: http://www.screenr.com/6ICH )
Please try to close your div and input tags properly. does it work?
Hi, I can see input field in both IE7 and IE8. Can you please add your view how it looks like before and after

Creating a input link button

hello all a quick question..
i am building a static html page, and would like to like one page to another using a button, now using a link is the easier option but i would like the effect of a button without any javascript going off..
so i would like to use a input button but it to link to a html page like an tag can href.
i was thinking along the lines of this example but without the js..
<form>
<input type="button" value="Read more" class="button" onclick="window.location.href='testimonials.html'">
</form>
this doesnt work but i am looking for this functionality?? is it possible?
Just submit the form to the URL.
<form action="testimonials.html">
<input type="submit" value="Read more">
</form>
… but buttons are supposed to do stuff. Links go places. Don't send people mixed messages, use a link.
you've misspelled "onclick" :)
EDIT: if you want to avoid javascript, you can create a button-like link with CSS:
Read More
Try this code:
<form>
<input type="button" value="Read more" class="button" onlick="window.location='testimonials.html'">
</form>

actually I could not search about it in Google cause i don't know what i suppose to write there ... very beginner :D
so if the answer is a link to read about that .. i 'll accept that ^_^
Regards
you could do this with jQuery.
You should hide both input fields, and if the users checks a radiobutton fade the corresponding input in.
<div id="formdiv">
<form>
<label for="1">Radio 1</label><input type="radio" id="1" name="choose" />
<label for="2">Radio 2</label><input type="radio" id="2" name="choose" />
<input type="text" class="1" name="input1" />
<input type="text" class="2" name="input2" />
</form>
</div>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
<script type="text/javascript">
$("input[name='choose']").change(function() {
var inputToFadeIn = $(this).attr('id');
$("input[type='text']:visible").animate({visibility: 'hidden'}, 500);
$('.' + inputToFadeIn).animate({visibility: 'visible'}, 500);
});​
</script>
<style type="text/css">
​input[type='text']
{
visibility:hidden;
}​​
</style>
Have now tested it on JSFiddle, but doesn't work. Could someone explain http://jsfiddle.net/7eKP6/?
