My JavaScript function is working but for some reason after the alert is displayed inside my IF statement the page re-loads/refresh and I do not want it to. Why is this and how can I change my function so that it will not do this?

My function

function valSubmit(){    

    varName = document.form1.txtName.value;

    varSurname = document.form1.txtSurname.value;

    varEmail = document.form1.txtEmail.value;

    varOrg = document.form1.txtOrg.value;



    if (varName ==  || varSurname ==  || varEmail ==  || varOrg ==  ) 

    {



     alert(Please fill in all mandatory fields);  



    }

    else

    { 

        document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';

        document.form1.btnSubmit.style.cursor = 'wait';

        document.form1.action = http://now.eloqua.com/e/f2.aspx

        document.form1.submit();

        return true;    

    }



 }

p.s I am using ASP.NET 3.5

Here is your complete function with the return false statement added.

Additionally, when you call valSubmit, it should look like this:

... onsubmit=return valSubmit();...

Note, you need to specify return here also.

Here is the function:

function valSubmit(){



varName = document.form1.txtName.value;

varSurname = document.form1.txtSurname.value;

varEmail = document.form1.txtEmail.value;

varOrg = document.form1.txtOrg.value;



 if (varName ==  || varSurname ==  || varEmail ==  || varOrg ==  ) 

 {



     alert(Please fill in all mandatory fields);

     return false;



 }

 else

 { 

    document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';

    document.form1.btnSubmit.style.cursor = 'wait';

    document.form1.action = http://now.eloqua.com/e/f2.aspx

    document.form1.submit();

    return true;    

 }



}
