Re: Form Validation

Sorry, forgot ...

Also, the test for empty probably needs to test against "" rather than null.

>&gt; <body&gt;
>&gt; <form action=&quot;myschoolOwnerRegister.jsp&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return
>> validateForm(this.form);">
>>
>> <b>Name : </b>
>> <input type=";text" name=";fname"; value=&quot;FirstName"> <input type=";text"
>>; name=";lname"; value=&quot;lastName&quot;> <br><br>
>>
>> <b> email Address<;/b>
&gt;>
&gt;> <input type=";text" name=";email";> <br><br>
>>
>> <b>user name : </b> <input type=";text" name=";userName&quot;>&lt;br><;br>
&gt;>
&gt;> <b>password :</b>; <input type=";password&quot; name=";pw"&gt; <br> <br>
>>
>> <input type=";submit&quot; value=&quot;Register&quot;>
>>
>> </form&gt;
>&gt; </body&gt;
>&gt; </html&gt;
>&gt;
>&gt;
>&gt; it still forwards me to the next page even though the pw field is
>&gt; null... and when i changed the validateForm function to simply
&gt;>
&gt;> function validateForm(myform)
>> {
>&gt; return false
&gt;> }
>&gt;
>&gt; it worked.. so i guess the problem is with my if statement.. i tried
&gt;> it on different fields and different conditions yet it still seems to
>&gt; be returning true...
>>
>> can some one please help me? it's driving me crazy!
