Would an experienced JavaScript developer please take a look and let me know why it is not processing? Am I missing some code? Calling it incorrectly? I appreciate that this is pretty basic stuff but it is driving me nuts! Info: success.asp does not yet exist. Any help would be really appreciated.

PravinS Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 are you getting error or validation is not working also check your form action, its "success.asp" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/284474-javascipt-newbie-why-is-this-code-not-working/#findComment-1461073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I would recommend reviewing the process of validating forms with JavaScript. Perhaps the following will help: http://javascript.about.com/library/blvalsub1.htm To start, change this <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="return validateForm();" /></td> To <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="validateForm(); return false;" /></td> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/284474-javascipt-newbie-why-is-this-code-not-working/#findComment-1461079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
