Please see my Booking Form here http://www.n-v-m.co.uk/Booking.html

The form is very nearly finished but I have no experience with JavaScript at all so I am hoping somebody can tell me how to do the finishing touches.

All I require is:

1- On clicking the 'Submit order' button I would like the browser to check to see if the 'Is Vehicle roadworthy with full M.O.T.:' List/Menu is set to 'Yes' and if not it needs to return an alert stating it must be set to 'Yes' to proceed... Somebody kindly helped show me how to do the alert before so this is working, but, the problem at the moment is after clicking 'OK' to close the alert, the form is still submitted. At this point instead of the form being submitted I would just like the browser to return to the form.

2- There is a checkbox on the bottom of the form that states 'I agree with the Terms and Conditions'... To be able to proceed with a booking I need the customer to check the box... On clicking 'Submit order' if the box isn't checked I would like an alert to appear and the form not to be submitted.

3. When both the above criteria have been met and the form is ready to submit... I would like the browser to re-direct to http://www.n-v-m.co.uk/Thankyou.html which is a page I have already created on my server.

Thanks for taking your time to read this... If it helps I have posted both my HTML and PHP codes below:

>> You want the form to be checked before submitted:

Change the form tag into:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="sendform.php" onsubmit='return isValid()'>

And the submit button into:

<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit order" />

And the checkbox into:

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" id="checkbox"  value="agreed"/>

Then use the following javascript function:

function isValid() {
var checkbox = document.getElementById('checkbox').checked;
var mot = document.getElementById('Is Vehicle Roadworthy with Full M.O.T.').value;
if (mot == "Yes" && checkbox == true) {
	return true;
} else {
     if (mot != "Yes") {
	  alert("Your vehicle must be roadworthy with full M.O.T.");
	 }
	 if (checkbox != true) {
	  alert("You have to agree with the Terms and Conditions");
	 }
     return false;
}
}

>> You want to redirect the user after submitting

Place the following code at the end of sendform.php:

header('Location: http://www.n-v-m.co.uk/Thankyou.html');
