I've been struggling with a form that just won't stop submitting, no matter what I do. I have checked similar questions on SO, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. It's frustrating because it's such a simple task. The reason why I want it to stop submitting is so that I can add some validation if a field is left empty.
HTML
<form class="application-form" id="application-form" name="application-form"
autocomplete="off" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm()" action="AppProcessRequest.cshtml">
...
...
...
<!-- Verify/Submit -->
<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="btnSubmit" name="submitButton"/>
</form>
JavaScript
function validateForm() {
alert('False');
return false;
};
My Ideal Pseudo-Script
function validateForm() {
var emp1label = $('label[class=emp1label]')
if(emp1label.length > 0){
alert('Empty Field.');
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
};
Note: Even though the alert message pops up when clicking submit, the form still submits after closing the message.
