Problem related to JSP and Javascript

Nov 14th, 2008

I have designed a Registration form with the help of HTML. Here in the tage <form> I have given the action to the JSP page. (e.g. <form name="form1" action="sample.jsp">) .
I have to validate this form bu javascript. The form is validated on clicking the Submit button of the form. But the problem is that here the validation is done but at the same time the form is directed to the next page i.e. to sample.jsp
I wish that the form must be directed to the next page when all the validation is successful and the user does not need to change anything on the form.

You need to control the form submission based on the result of the validation.

 Help with Code Tags 
 JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<form name="frm" id="frm" action="action.jsp" onsubmit="return validate(this);">
  <!-- form elements go here -->
</form>
<form name="frm" id="frm" action="action.jsp" onsubmit="return validate(this);">
  <!-- form elements go here -->
</form>

where validate returns a true or false depending on the outcome of the validation.

I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.

validate is your Javascript function which performs the validation. As I previously stated, make your validation function return a boolean flag depending on the result of the validation.
