validate textfield

[carranz]

I have this validatation code. It works but for some reason after the alert box comes up saying a field needs to be input I hit ok then the form goes through its process I want to process to stop so I can go back and input into the field
any help would be appreciated


<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
function Blank_TextField_Validator()
{
// from the form named form
if (form2.first.value == "")
{
alert("Please fill in the First Name.");
first.focus();
// return false to stop further processing
return (false);
}
// If text_name is not null continue processing
return (true);
}
-->
</script>

You need to make sure you return the result from the function in your onsubmit event on the form:

<form id="whatever" method="post" action="somepage.asp" onsubmit="[!]return [/!]Blank_TextField_Validator()">

Ok that worked
Problem now is I have three texboxes that need to validated if they are empty. for some reason it will pick up the first textfield but not the other so I testing it

I input something in the first textfield and hit submit and it goes through without validating the other empty textfields

here is my code

<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
function Blank_TextField_Validator()
{
// from the form named form
if (form2.first.value == "")
{
alert("Please fill in the First Name.");
first.focus();
// return false
return (false);
}
// If text_name is not null continue processing
return (true);

// return false to stop further processing
if (form2.last.value == "")
{
alert("Please fill in the Last Name.");
last.focus();
// return false
return (false);
}
// If text_name is not null continue processing
return (true);

// return false to stop further processing
if (form2.dept.value == "")
{
alert("Please fill in the Directory.");
dept.focus();

// return false
return (false);
}
// If text_name is not null continue processing
return (true);
}
}
}
-->
</script>
