Looks to me like you have the function checkForm() commented out <!--- with a
CF comment. I noticed you have a javascript commenter '//' before the closing
CF comment, but keep in mind the CF comments are processed on the server side,
and javascript comments are only there on the client side.
Lastly, your Return should not be capitalized, and neither should True. Here's
your script (try this):
<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {
var ValidPassed = true;
while (ValidPassed) {
if (!document.fBuyout.varFname.value.length) {
alert("Enter First Name.");
document.fBuyout.varFname.focus();
ValidPassed=false;
break; // you don't need this line the loop will break
on its own
}
}
return ValidPassed;
}
</script>

Subject: form validation
Hello, all. I am trying to do some form validation, but it isn't
working. Instead of giving me the alert, it takes me to the action page,
no matter what I type in. I basically took this code straight from a
book. Any ideas? Thanks.
