The function call document.getElementById('2 Fastest'); returns null, since you are NOT printing any IDs for check boxes. To print Ids, you can use the 'attributes' option of 'checkbox_group' in CGI. The code with ids will look like :

sub generate_form {

    print start_multipart_form(),
        #strong('Your email: '),
        #textfield( -name => 'user_email' ), br, br


        strong('Basic Programs To Choose: '), br
        checkbox_group(
        -name   => 'progname',
        -values => [
            '2 Fastest',
            'MEME',
            'MITRA',
            'SPACE',
            ],
        -attributes=>{'2 Fastest'=>{'id'=>'2 Fastest'}}, #the extra li
+ne added to print id
        -rows => '2',
        -columns => '6',
        -defaults => [ '2 Fastest' ],
        -onClick=>"checkBoxClick()",  #modified as advised by ikegami,
+ but still not functioning
        ),
        p,
}

Hope this will help.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
