Javascript validation not working with form of multipart/form-data

Hi guys,

Been stuck for a few days with this scenario.
Any help?
The alert box appears on an error.
But the submitting won't stop.
The details are submitted and the form is processed.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Hi elabuwa,
always remember one thing that when you use

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<input type="submit">

never use onclick method to call the validation,or any other function ,use onsubmit attribute of the form instead.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<form name="myForm" onsubmit="return validation()">

you always use return before the fnction name when using the onsubmit property but not the onclick property of the submit or button type input as you have done here in your code,

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  <tr><td rowspan="4"><input type="submit" name="send_email" id="send_email" style="height:50px; width:100px;" value="SEND" onClick="return err_check();" /></td>
 

But if you do want to use onclick then you need to change to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<input type="button" onclick="validation();">

, so in your code change the type from submit to button on line 78 , and you see it start working fine.

Omer Aslam
