Hi,

I need to validate a form when the user hits submit.

Basically I want to say that if certain fields on the form have a value of " " then display a message box and prevent the form being submitted to the ASP file ELSE submit the form normally.

Now I came up with something but its not working because when I hit submit with the fields blank its being sent to the process.asp file with not message box appearing.

What is wrong with what I am doing?

In the header I put this,

Code:

function checkIt(f)
{   
if (f.elements['Field1name'].value=="" && f.elements['Field2name'].value=="")   
{      
alert('You have not specified the products you wish to order please go back to step 2');
     return false;   
}   
return true;
}

In the body I put this,

Code:

<form method="post" action="process.asp" name="sForm" onSubmit="return checkIt(this);">
...

Any ideas?

Hi,

To fix your problem change your form tag value to:

Code:

<form method="post" action="process.asp" name="sform" onSubmit="return checkForm(this); return false;">

And change your javascript to:

Code:

function checkForm(f)
{
    if (f.elements['FieldName1'].value == "" && f.elements['FieldName2'].value == "")
    {
        alert("You have not specified the products you wish to order please go back to step 2");
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        f.submit();
        return false;
    }
}

This should now stop the form from being submitted unless both fields have something in them. Hope this helps.
