JavaScript Form Validation

Hi there

Im new to the forum and wondering if someone could point me in the right directtion.

I have a html web form and Im trying to use JavaScript to validate the form before submitting.

Here’s my code so far:

function validate_form ( )
{

if (document.frm_contact_us.txtname.value == “”)
{
alert(“Please fill in the ‘Your Name’ box.”);
document.frm_contact_us.txtname.focus()
return false;
}
return true;

}

The problem is that even though javascript bring up an Alert box to notify that the txtname field is blank, the Form still get submitted – and I cant figure out why.

Any Pointers with would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, James
