Validate data then submit

[tmcain]

I have looked through archives but haven't found my exact answer.
I have a button that when the onclick event is fired it runs a subroutine to validate data. Once that is finished I have code in the routine document.shipForm.submit

Interdev is aware of my controls because when i type the '.' the option i want comes up. However, I am getting the error that object does not exist.

Can someone give me a clue?

Instead of submitting the form at the end of the validate function, why don't you do something like this:
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;button1&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;JavaScript:return validation();&quot;>

Then, make your validation function look similar to this:
function validation(){
if document.form1.textbox1.value!=''{ //one validation
return false;
}
return true;
}

Sounds good, but I have a question.
I am not familiar with javascript. What will happen if the function returns false?
