Yes, web2py supports Javascript functions (you can do whatever you want on
the client side). In a couple places, your code has the wrong kind of
quotes -- instead of " you have ”. In particular:
onSubmit=”return textFieldValidation();”
should be:
onSubmit="return textFieldValidation();"
and
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”javascript”>
should be:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
Actually, the language attribute has been deprecated -- so it should really
just be:
<script>
