I needed something like this awhile back, and found this javascript on the web:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <!--//hide script function checkme() { missinginfo = ""; if (!document.form.Conditions.checked) { missinginfo += "\n - You must agree to the Conditions.";
}
if (missinginfo != "") { missinginfo ="You must agree to the Conditions."; alert(missinginfo); return false;
}
else { return true;
} }
// ---> </script>
Then your form would have to look something like this:
<form name="form" method="post" action="http://www.mysite.com/myform.cgi" onSubmit="return checkme();"> <input type="checkbox" name="Conditions" value="I Agree"> I have read and agree to the conditions above. <input type="submit" name="" value=" Submit "> </form>

I have a perl script and html form to do just that for an old client. If you want it, let me know and I'll Email you the ziped versions.

Since we are slightly off topic, I am looking for a way to keep
spammers from entering my forms and sending me junk. Almost all sites
are using this kind of thing, where a random image generator, shows
some letters they must enter before proceeding. It keeps the bots from
slamming the sight.

Did you ever get an answer to this? There are programs out there but most require a database. I have a cheap and dirty way of handling this on forms that I make. et me know.
I have had great success on several web sites using form handler scripts automatically generated at http://www.tectite.com/. I tried many other scripts, but it is the only one that stopped the spam bots. It's secure and free, though donations are accepted. By tweaking the random image settings, you can make them readable and still keep the spambots at bay. You should rename the script so it doesn't resemble anything like "formmail", though. That word is a target.
