Also: Firebug is your friend. Just set a breakpoint on the first
line of your function, and step through.

Hi everyone --
I'm trying to build out a validation routine for my input forms and
found something that I like/find easy to extend. I added it as an
external script to my test page. I tested to make sure all the
subfunctions were being called by inserting alert boxes and they
are
being called. Unfortunately, the routine is not picking up my
empty/non valid fields and instead appears to be just
returning "true"
and submitting the form.
My guess is that your javascript has errors which prevents the submit
handler from returning false. This makes it really hard for
debugging...
Try the following when developing:
<form onsubmit="validate(this);return false;">
instead of
<form onsubmit="return validate(this)">
This way when "validate" errors out, the submission will still be
trapped and you can see the errors in the console.
HTH,
