The JavaScript tutorial I was reading acted like all you had to do to validate your form was to alert the users of an error when they clicked the submit button. Is that all there is to it? Don’t you need some way to cancel the post method in the form?

function checkFieldsProfileUpdate() {
missinginfo = "";
if (document.companyUpdate.company.value == "") {
missinginfo += "n - 'Company Name' was left blank! n";
}
if (document.companyUpdate.email.value == "") {
missinginfo += "n - 'Email' Must be filled in!";
}
if (missinginfo != "") {
missinginfo ="You did not fill in all required fields: n___________________________________________________n" +
missinginfo + "n___________________________________________________" +
"n n Please re-enter and submit again!";
alert(missinginfo);
return false;
}
else return true;
