Return(false);

This is not ending the submission of the form. What am I missing?

Code:

---

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
        function addAnother(form){
                if(form.ckAddAnother.checked)
                {
                        if(form.LName.value != "")
                        {
                        LName = form.addITSS.LName;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        alert("Plase fill in a last name!");
                        form.LName.focus();
                        return(false);
                        }

                        if(form.FName.value != "")
                        {
                        FName = form.FName.value;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        alert("Plase fill in a first name!");
                        form.FName.focus();
                        return(false);
                        }

                        if(form.Region.value != "")
                        {
                        Region = form.Region.value;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        alert("Plase fill in a region!");
                        form.Region.focus();
                        return(false);
                        }

                        if(form.administration.value != "")
                        {
                        administration = form.administration.value;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        alert("Plase fill in an Administration!");
                        form.administration.focus();
                        return(false);
                        }

                        if(form.title.value != "")
                        {
                        title = form.title.value;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        alert("Plase fill in a title!");
                        form.title.focus();
                        return(false);
                        }
                }
        return(true);
        }
-->
</script>

do you have this in your form tag

onSubmit="return addAnother(this);"

this is what I have.

<form name="form" action="addITConf.asp" method="get" onSubmit="addAnother(this);">

sorry, I did not see the return part. thanks!!!

Well it works fine with the first if statement, but then if I fill in the last name, and do not fill in the first name, it will keep executing.

here's what i usually use

Code:

---

function validation(){
        var msg='';

        if(document.forms[0].fname.value==''){msg+='\n  -First Name';}
        if(document.forms[0].lname.value==''){msg+='\n  -Last Name';}
        if(document.forms[0].phone.value==''){msg+='\n  -Phone #';}
        if(document.forms[0].email.value==''){msg+='\n  -Email';}

        if(msg==''){
                return true;
        }else{
                alert('You forgot to fill the following fields:\n\n' + msg);
                return false;
                }
}

---

and it works fine !

thanks, I will give it a shot. So does Javascript exit after that first if else statement?

no, cuz i check all the fields, then i check if i return true or false !

good luck ;)

i just looked at your function, and you have something wrong i think

the first check you put this

LName = form.addITSS.LName;

and all the other one you put

FName = form.FName.value;

should'nt be

FName = form.addITSS.FName;

that was my problem the whole time. Thanks!

You also misspelled Please in all of the "Plase fill in a ..." messages. Looks like another case of Copy|Paste gotcha. How many times have I done that myself? :rolleyes:
