Hi, I am writing a simple login validation pgm. I have a HTML file which has the
login form and it action points to a JSP page that needs to be displayed ONLY AFTER the user has been successfully validated. Also, I have a JavaScript file that holds function to check for empty fields in the form and sends an alert. Basically 1. If empty fields are present the JavaScript, alert needs to be called and the HTML form page should still be visible. 2. If userId and password are entered but are not valid, then the JSP page that prints out the error message has to be displayed. Here is what happens. When the HTML form is called in the browser, and userid or password is not entered then the alert is displayed properly. After entering the userid and password, it goes to the JSP page properly. BUT when, I use the browser's BACK button, and go to the HTML form page, and if the password field is not present and try to hit submit button, The Alert message is displayed AS WELL AS the JSP page too, seems like the SUBMIT action is getting called. How do I fix this, so that even if teh user, hits the BACK button and tries to login giving empty fields, ONLY the alert has to be displayed. Any pointers???
