Multipage form validation with javascript

[jpearson311]

Hello all:

I'm building a multipage quote request form for a client of mine and I'm having some issues with the validation. I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me.

I have a simple form whoms action is set to delivery.php and it's onsubmit event handler is set as so:


onsubmit="javascript:validatePersonal()"The function validatePersonal looks like so:


function validatePersonal(){
if(document.form.name.value == ""){
window.alert("Please enter your name");
}
}The alert message is working fine if there is nothing in the form, but when I click ok, it still goes to the next page. How do I make it stay at the present page. Any help would appreciative. Thanks!

Hi jpearson311 :),

Replace your code with the following


onsubmit="return validatePersonal();"



function validatePersonal(){
if(document.form.name.value == ""){
window.alert("Please enter your name");
return false;
}
return true;
}
