Staff No is validated to be exactly 6 digits numeric.
On click of the "display personal details" button with the mouse,The
page behaves fine.But on hit of ENTER...after entering some three or
four digits in the staff No text box.Its validating and giving the
error message" Alert 1 Please Enter a valid Staff Number.Please enter
leading zeroes if applicable." Then form submits.On submit alert is
fired.
I dont want the submit to happen when the client validation
fails.Strangely the submit does not happen on click of the button using
mouse.Çan anybody help me please.
