[TruthInSatire]

i have a field validation script in and onsubmit function. I return false and it still submits the form please help.

<script language = &quot;javascript&quot;>
function chkOptions(){
rtn = true;
if (sOptions.sOver.checked && shipOptions.sOverAmount.value == ''){
alert('Over Amount Required');
sOptions.sOverAmount.focus();
rtn = false;
}
return rtn;
}
</script>

None: it works in everyone else’s office, it must work in yours too.

how about...

***
<script language = &quot;javascript&quot;>
function chkOptions(){
rtn = true;
if ((sOptions.sUseOver.checked)&&(sOptions.sOverAmount.value=='')) {
alert('Over Amount Required');
sOptions.sOverAmount.focus();
rtn = false;

}
return rtn;
}
</script>

<form name=&quot;sOptions&quot; method=post onsubmit=&quot;return chkOptions();&quot; action=javascript:alert('submitted!!');>
<input type = &quot;checkbox&quot; name = &quot;sUseOver&quot; value=&quot;Yes&quot;>
Over Amount:
<input type = &quot;text&quot; size = &quot;6&quot; name = &quot;sOverAmount&quot;>
<input type=&quot;image&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;save.jpg&quot; width=&quot;126&quot; height=&quot;24&quot;>
</form>
***

When I use this as the function:


function chkOptions(){
alert(&quot;chkOptions&quot;
return false;
}

It works fine. So your logic in your function is bad.
