gilbertsavier Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi, I am trying to validate a form, and am getting the error messages as needed, but it submits the form anyway. Here is the Java: function validate (form){ var returnValue = true; var email = CSLavRequestForm.email.value; var phone = CSLavRequestForm.phoneNumber.value; var groupName = CSLavRequestForm.workshopName.value; if (email.length < 6){ returnValue = false; alert("Please Enter Valid email"); CSLavRequestForm.email.focus(); } if (phone.length < 10){ returnValue = false; alert("Please Enter Valid Phone Number"); CSLavRequestForm.phone.focus(); } if (groupName.length < 3){ returnValue = false; alert("Please Enter Valid Workshop/Region"); CSLavRequestForm.groupName.focus(); } return returnValue; } and the form line in the html: I am stuck! Benn working on this for way too long Thanks & Regards, Lokananth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeDev Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 The focus() function after the alerts were sending the form. Removed them and made some changes, and it works function validate(form){ var returnValue = true; var email = form.email.value; var phone = form.phoneNumber.value; var groupName = form.workshopName.value; if (email.length < 6){ returnValue = false; alert("Please Enter Valid email"); } if (phone.length < 10){ returnValue = false; alert("Please Enter Valid Phone Number"); } if (groupName.length < 3){ returnValue = false; alert("Please Enter Valid Workshop/Region"); } return returnValue; } If anyone's got an explanation why the focus() method sends a form, then please shed some light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
