    copied!<p>In below code, there is a form to create login for new user. And on the press of continue button it should call 'validateForm()' function. Where it is checking the values filled in form and on missing of proper value(s) it should give the alert message. But, is not giving any alert even on error, like I am pressing 'continue' even the form is completely empty. </p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function validateForm() { var email=document.forms["newlogin"]["email"].value; var cemail=document.forms["newlogin"]["cemail"].value; var pass=document.forms["newlogin"]["pwd"].value; var cpass=document.forms["newlogin"]["cpwd"].value; var answ1=document.forms["newlogin"]["ans1"].value; var answ2=document.forms["newlogin"]["ans2].value; alert("I am IN"); if(email==null || email=="" || cemail==null || cemail=="") { alert("Enter Email ID and confirm."); return false; } if(pass==null || pass=="" || cpass==null || cemail=="") { alert("Enter Password and confirm."); return false; } if(answ1==null || answ1=="" || answ2=null || answ2=="") { alert("Enter Answer 1 &amp; Answer 2."); return false; } if(email!=cemail) { alert("Confirmed Email ID is not matching."); return false; } if(pass!=cpass) { alert("Confirmed Password is not matching."); return false; } } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h1 style="font:swis721 bt"&gt;enginenc&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;form name="newlogin" method="POST" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/createlogin" onsubmit="return validateForm()"&gt; &lt;table align="center" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" style="margin-top:2cm;background-color:#FFD700;border-top:1px solid;border-bottom:1px solid;border-left:1px dotted;border-right:1px dotted" border=0&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;Enter a valid Email ID:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="email"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;Confirm the Email ID:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="cemail"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;Enter password:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;&lt;input type="password" name="pwd"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;Confirm Passowrd:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;&lt;input type="password" name="cpwd"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;Select Question 1:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td align="left" style="font:westwood let"&gt;&lt;select name="ques1"&gt;&lt;option value=1&gt;1.
