basic form question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 01.2006

I DON’T need a php solution, or anything else, other than an html, asp, or javascript solution to this question.

When a user fills out a form, I need to allow them to go back with the fields they already filled out, STILL HAVING THE DATA THERE, to finish filling out remaining fields that were required, but which they overlooked.
This eliminates them having to start all over again.

Thanks in advance.

@CrazyMerlinMay 01.2006 — <form onsubmit="return checkForErrors()">

write a function to check if any required fields are empty, if they are, inform the user and then...

return false;

this will pass control back to the form which will then halt execution of all script, thus stopping the form from being submitted. The user can then fill out the missing fields, and hit submit again...which will of course call your checking script again. At the end of your checking script, if all is ok...

return true;

and the form will be submitted.

Success!
