alert without refreshing the page

[Ross1811]

Is there anyway to return to a page with refreshing it? Right now I have a condition to check if subject ="" if it is i have a javascript alert. But the only problem is that it refreshes the page, --> the other required fields that the user might have filled out are now emptied. Is there a way around this????? I am checking on submit,

Thanks,
Ross



<script language="javascript">
alert("Please define subject")
</script>

 

[bclt]

<script language="javascript">
function AlertSubject()
{
alert("Please define subject");
}
</script>


At the submit button add last: onClick="AlertSubject()"



Right?

Ouppsss... something is missing:

<script language="javascript">
  function AlertSubject()
  {
    if (textboxSubject.getText=="")
      alert("Please define subject");
  }
</script>

At the submit button add last: onClick="AlertSubject()"


Now should be ok.

you want to return false.

simplified example:

<script language="javascript"><!--

function validate() {
    if (document.forms['formName'].elements['subject'].value == '') {
        alert("Please enter a subject!");
        return false;
    }
}

//-->

<form ... onsubmit="return validate();">
