if(!checkValidNull(vCourseName,"Please Enter Course Name"))
return false;
if(!checkValidNull(vCourseCode,"Please Enter Course Code"))
return false;
if(!checkValidNull(dFee,"Please Enter Fee"))
return false;

var tmp_collegeId="";
var tmp_deselect="";
for(i=0;i<frm.iCollegeId.length;i++)
{
if(frm.iCollegeId[i].selected){
//alert(frm.iCollegeId[i].selected);
tmp_collegeId+=frm.iCollegeId[i].value+',';

}else tmp_deselect+=frm.iCollegeId[i].value+',';
}

var len=tmp_collegeId.length;
var len1=tmp_deselect.length;
tmp_collegeId=tmp_collegeId.substr(0,len-1);
tmp_deselect=tmp_deselect.substr(0,len1-1);
frm.collegeId1.value=tmp_collegeId;

if(frm.mode.value=='Update' && tmp_deselect !='')
{
document.getElementById('submitid').value="";
getCollege(frm.iCourseId.value,tmp_deselect);//here i am calling function for ajax
}


}
}


function getCollege(iCourseId,tmp_deselect)
{
var url =admin_url+"check_instructor.php?iCourseId="+iCour seId+'&tmp_deselect='+tmp_deselect;
var isWorking = false;
if (!isWorking)
{
//catID = course;
isWorking = true;
//url += catID;
//alert(url);
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{
http_state_Member=new XMLHttpRequest()
http_state_Member.open("GET",url, true);
http_state_Member.onreadystatechange=handleHttpRes ponseStateMember
http_state_Member.send(null)

}

// code for IE
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
{
http_state_Member=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
if (http_state_Member)
{
http_state_Member.open("GET",url, true);
http_state_Member.onreadystatechange=handleHttpRes ponseStateMember
http_state_Member.send()

}
}
//return false;
}//end if(!working))
//if(!displayPopup) closeLoadingWindow(winObj);
}//end functiongetStateName()

function handleHttpResponseStateMember()
{
var temp;
var tmp_color;//alert(http_state_Member.readyState);
if (http_state_Member.readyState == 4)
{
var xmlDocument = http_state_Member.responseXML;
var no = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName('tot').item(0).fi rstChild.data;
//alert(no);
if(no>0)
{
alert("Please Change the Instructor Details First ,Which are using Deselected Colleges ");
return false;

}
}

}

In Ajax, the request is made and then it goes about its business. When the response returns, then your handleResponse function will run. In the meantime, the form has already been submitted.

To avoid this, keep this Ajax function out of the validate function which you're probably running onsubmit. I am assuming that iCollegeID is a set of checkboxes, so you could check for this when a checkbox is clicked. Alternatively, just check for this on the server-side.
