How to make a function break 1

[sbayter]

Hi,
I have a survey which is composed of around 10 question. For each question you can answer from 1 to 10 using radio button.
I have a script validator with a if statements for each question so if the user does not check any radio in some question it will tell the user to try again.
The problem is that when user does not check any of the questions it pops up the 10 alert of each if statement.
At the edn of each if statment I have "event.returnValue=false;".
Is there any way to make the function break if one of the if statements is executed?
I tried inserting a "break" but if did not work.
Thanks in advance for ur help,


sbayter

I tried with return false. The problem with this is that the page is a php page sowhen it returns false it goes to another page and displays the default php error.
However, when i use "event.returnValue=false;", it doesn't.
Any other option?
Thanks,

sbayter

Design your validator to pop an alert if and only if any question (or combination of questions) is unanswered, but only when hitting whatever passes for a Submit button, to the tune of "All questions must be answered before continuing, please."

Because you only have 10 questions, the more highly-evolved users can quickly figure out where they didn't finish.

Does your interface allow people to answer the questions in any order?

curious,

take out the ( ) around false
return false;

then on the call you need to du
return validate()

there is no reasoning I can think this would not work unless this is a browser issue
