}
//End function window_onload
function ValidateForm() {
  var edit1 = document.getElementById("edit1").value;
  alert(edit1);
  if (edit1== "") {
     alert("Please enter the Textbox value");
     return false;
  }
  else {
   return true;
  }
}

Here Validation is works.But the form is submitted.I want to stop submission of form if filter text box is not entered or validated.

In Java script form validation return true means form submission=YES and return false means form submission=NO

Please help me.Thanks in advance.

I am using Dev Studio Version 761.

Hi Trilochan,
Change the onclick event from 

onclick= ValidateForm();


to

onclick= "return ValidateForm()";


I tried this change, and seems to not submit the form unless a value is entered into the text box. Having the 'Return' before the name prevents the forms submission prematurely. Please see http://www.webreference.com/pr...t/confirm/index.html for more info.

Hi SeyedG,

Thanks for your reply.

Then also it is not working after using below code 
onclick= "return ValidateForm()";


I think form is submitted due to below code

 onsubmit="OnExecute(this);return false;"


Please help me,how to restrict form submission.

Hi Trilochan,
In your onsubmit event handler, you are calling a function called 'OnExecute' that does not exist. You could add something like:
function OnExecute()
 {
  alert('Made it to OnExecute');   
  document.form2.submit(); 
 }


The link Francis suggested contains valuable information that would be helpful to you.
