That's a bit odd - you typically don't use the assignment and increment
operators together that way, since you really only need one or the other.

The statement

        ++chkd;

is the same as

        chkd = chkd + 1;

in the specific code you have above.

I would use something like this instead:

function checkForNoSelections() {
        var e = document.viewItems;
        for (var i = 0; i < e.atccNum.length; i++) {
                if (e.attcNum[i].checked) {
                        return true;
                }
        }
        alert('You must select an item to display.');
        return false;
}

<form action="..." onsubmit="return checkForNoSelections();">
....
<input type="submit">
</form>
