I am trying to get a form to submit.  I've done it in the past without using javaScript to verify the fields.  I need to verify the fields in this form and have the code working for that however once the verification is finished, the form won't submit. 

here is the relevant code:

I don't have any code in the checkrequired formual that submits the code, should I?

Is there some way I can get this working (in both Netscape and IE)?

thanks,

I may be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that your checkrequired function needs to have code in it to work....

Sorry, I didn't mean that there is no code in the checkrequired function, there is tons of code in it that verifies the field values.  I mean that there is nothing in the function that actually submits the form.  I don't know if I need to add something, and if I do, what?

First of all, I don't understand why you would want to use the mailto: tag to submit a form. Is this your only option? I mean, dosen't your isp offer cgi-bin access or an asp component?

This is the way my code looks when I use cg-bin. (I prefer asp jmail though)

<form name="contact form" onsubmit="return formCheck(this);" action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="post" >
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value= mailto:email@domain.com - email@domain.com >

This is the way to do it if you want to be sure about cross browser compliance.

I use a simple bit of code which is easy to modify to validate forms. You can get it at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/requiredcheck.htm - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/requiredcheck.htm

Hope this helps
