Required Fields JavaScript Validation
The function below checks if a field has been left empty. If the field is blank, an alert box alerts a message, the function returns false, and the form will not be submitted:
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Validations</title>
<script>
function validateForm()
{
var x=document.forms["Form1"]["name"].value;
if (x==null || x=="")
{
alert("name must be filled out");
return false;
}
}</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="Form1" action="second.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()"
method="post">
name:
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
