Submit Check Problem

[idaryl]

Hello,
I am using the script below to check my form for errors. It works if I take out the "else alert("All ok" return false;"[/red] part. But, I really need it in there, where am I going wrong with this?

All I want it to do is check the form then tell me its OK if the fields are filled in...correctly.

-----------------

function contactCheck()
{
if (document.contactform.first_name.value == "&quot
{
alert("First Name | Problem:\n\nYou forgot to enter\nyour first name\n\nPlease enter it\n\nThis entry is required!."
document.contactform.first_name.focus();
return false;
}

else if (document.contactform.last_name.value == "&quot
{
alert("Last Name | Problem:\n\nYou forgot to enter\nyour last name\n\nPlease enter it\n\nThis entry is required!."
document.contactform.last_name.focus();
return false;
}

else if (document.contactform.submit_by.value.indexOf("@&quot == -1 ||
document.contactform.submit_by.value == "&quot
{
alert("Email Address | Problem:\n\nYou forgot to enter\nyour email\n\nPlease enter it\n\nThis entry is required!."
document.contactform.submit_by.focus();
return false;

else alert("All ok"
return false;
}

Hi mWolf00,
yikes, my bad.... I put in the wrong code -this one actually works but I need the alert just the same if all is OK.

sorry about the confusion ;-(

Shouldn't you put
return true;
instead of return false;
after alert('All Okay');
