Re: [WSG] DOM Scripting
Hi Darren, what's happening is the form is doing the validation but
it's still submitting. In you preparePage() function you need to add
an event handler for the form.onsubmit() that returns false unless the
form validates.
something like
function prepareForms() {
for (var i=0; i < document.forms.length; i++) {
var thisform = document.forms[i];
thisform.onsubmit = function() {
return validateForm(this);
}
}
return false;
}
Jeremey has an example on
http://www.domscripting.com/domsters/contact.html or have a look at my
comments form.
Best of luck,
Richard

Re: [WSG] DOM Scripting
Hi Daz, The problem is, your form is being submitted. That's why it looks like it only highlights for a second. The easiest fix is to change onclick="validateForm()" to onclick="return validateForm()". The 'onclick' call itself needs to return false to stop the submit. You may want to consider using the onsubmit event on the form instead. This would catch the form being submitted by users hitting Enter. You also might want to consider attaching the event completely in JavaScript instead of as an attribute in the HTML. But this is up to you.
