I have been working on this for a week now and cannot figure out for the life of me what I have missed or if I have put something somewhere that it is not supposed to be. the code was working fine until I began making changes to the confirmSubmit() function and now it seems like nothing is working properly other than displaying the page. I had my teacher look at it too and he said that he couldn't find out either. I just don't know anymore maybe one of you all can help me solve this.

I have the following validation code for a simple form. I am able to perform basic validation but the form still gets posted even if the data is wrong and an alert is generated. How can I stop that from happening?
JS CODE
function validate(){
validateForm();
}
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["fname"].value;
var y = document.forms["myForm"]["pname"].value;
var email = document.forms["myForm"]["email"].value;
var phone = document.forms["myForm"]["phone"].value;
var date = document.forms["myForm"]["date"].value;
var month = document.forms["myForm"]["month"].value;
var year = document.forms["myForm"]["year"].value;
window.load = function() {
var myForm = document.getElementById('myForm');
myForm.onsubmit = function(e) {
return validateForm(); // will be false if the form is invalid
}
}
if (x == null || x == "") {
alert("Name must be filled out");
return false;}
else if (y == null || y == "") {
alert("Address must be filled out");
return false;
}
else if(email == '' || email.indexOf('#') == -1 || email.indexOf('.') == -1)
{
alert("Insert Valid Email Address");
return false;
}
else if(phone == ''|| phone <1000000000 || phone >9999999999){
alert("Enter valid phone number");
return false;
}else if(date =='' || date<01 || date >31){
alert("Enter valid date ");
return false;
}else if(month =='' || month<1 || month >12){
alert("Enter valid month ");
return false;
}else if(year =='' || year<1800 || year >2015){
alert("Enter valid year ");
return false;
}
}

You have several issues with your code.
Your validation function needs to return false to prevent the form submission.
You are registering the window.onload handler inside of the validateForm function. Since, the the time the validateForm function is called, the form is already being submitted.
The handler in your markup is validate. Your validate method doesn't return anything so submission won't be prevented by that either.
The easiest way to fix everything would to be to remove the window.onload handler from your code altogether. You could then change validate to:
function validate() {
return validateForm();
}
And submission should be prevented properly.
I got it working. Instead of calling validate() and in that calling validateForm() I directly called validateForm() at the onsubmit. Thanks for the help.
So I am creating an exam entry form for school and when a user enters anything wrong, the name of the field will turn red (what the user has input will remain the same) I need to be able to do this with an onclick event activated by my reset button however the function I have right now does not do this. Here is my code:

I think your closing braces may be in the wrong place... move one of the two closing braces at the end of your JavaScript to the end of the validateForm() function.
try something like this
YOUR CODE
function validateForm() {
....
function resetNames() {
document.getElementById('name').removeAttribute('style')
document.getElementById('subject').removeAttribute('style')
document.getElementById('examnumber').removeAttribute('style')
}
}
CHANGE TO
function validateForm() {
......
}
function resetNames() {
document.getElementById('name').removeAttribute('style')
document.getElementById('subject').removeAttribute('style')
document.getElementById('examnumber').removeAttribute('style')
}
Reason you have nested your function one inside another.
I have added a random number addition captcha to a form. The form fields are validated separately. What seems to happen is that if the captcha is blank (alert windows generated and OK button pushed) the form seems to submit anyway. Or if the captch answer is blank, the alert is generated, but clicking the Okay button submits the form.
Basically once there's a wrong captcha but all the required fields validate, the captcha doesn't really stop anything.
Random number generation is being called on the BODY, Validation is being called on the FORM line. Captcha validation is on the SUBMIT button.
I have searched for other solutions, but nothing is helping. I have also tried generating the error message like the code in the answer boxes, but that didn't help. I've simplified the page somewhat here for fewer form fields and text. Form location and email also removed.
Your help would be so appreciated.

I have all ready inserted the validation for the radio button and now all i need is to have a alert box to come up before the code proceeds asking "Are you sure you want to pick 'x'" when x would be the level selected. And if cancel is pressed it returns to the webpage.

I am currently doing a GCSE course which allows me to ask for assistance from IT sources as long as I reference them in my investigation. I wish to make the following code validate that there is a number of four digits in the Examination Number entry field. I'm okay with simple validation but this is another step for me.

Regarding checking if it is number, you can use some regex:
e.g.
var reg = /^\d{4}$/ig;
var regExRes = reg.exec(document.ExamEntry.examnumber.value);
if (document.ExamEntry.examnumber.value == "" || (regExRes == null || regExRes.length == 0)) {
msg += "You must enter your Examination Number \n";
document.ExamEntry.examnumber.focus();
document.getElementById('examnumber').style.color = "red";
result = false;
}
To avoid entering anything beside number, I would suggest you to use something like jquery pluging called masked input
EDIT:
line changed from var reg = /\d{4}/ig; to var reg = /^\d{4}$/ig;
