Multipage form validation with javascript

programming web dev
1

Hello all:

I’m building a multipage quote request form for a client of mine and I’m having some issues with the validation. I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me.

I have a simple form whoms action is set to delivery.php and it’s onsubmit event handler is set as so:

onsubmit="javascript:validatePersonal()"

The function validatePersonal looks like so:

function validatePersonal(){
    if(document.form.name.value == ""){
        window.alert("Please enter your name");
    }
}

The alert message is working fine if there is nothing in the form, but when I click ok, it still goes to the next page. How do I make it stay at the present page. Any help would appreciative. Thanks!
