Hi sean,
i think if you put onsubmit="return validateLoginForm(this); it works
fine with client(front-end validation)side and if you remove onsubmit from
jsp then it works fine with server(backend validation)....may be this helps
you
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Hi,
I'm not writing the JavaScript code myself, so I cannot include a check
like you suggested. The JavaScript is being automatically generated
using the <html:javascript> tag. The generated validateRequired method
is taken directly from the commons-validator.jar:
function validateRequired(form) {
var isValid = true;
var focusField = null;
var i = 0;
var fields = new Array();
var formName = form.getAttributeNode("name");
oRequired = eval('new ' + formName.value + '_required()');
for (x in oRequired) {
var field = form[oRequired[x][0]];
if ((field.type == 'hidden' ||
field.type == 'text' ||
field.type == 'textarea' ||
field.type == 'file' ||
field.type == 'checkbox' ||
field.type == 'select-one' ||
field.type == 'password') &&
field.disabled == false) {
var value = '';
// get field's value
if (field.type == "select-one") {
var si = field.selectedIndex;
if (si >= 0) {
value = field.options[si].value;
}
} else if (field.type == 'checkbox') {
if (field.checked) {
value = field.value;
}
} else {
value = field.value;
}
if (trim(value).length == 0) {
if (i == 0) {
focusField = field;
}
fields[i++] = oRequired[x][1];
isValid = false;
}
} else if (field.type == "select-multiple") {
var numOptions = field.options.length;
lastSelected=-1;
for(loop=numOptions-1;loop>=0;loop--) {
if(field.options[loop].selected) {
lastSelected = loop;
value = field.options[loop].value;
break;
}
}
if(lastSelected < 0 || trim(value).length == 0) {
if(i == 0) {
focusField = field;
}
fields[i++] = oRequired[x][1];
isValid=false;
}
} else if ((field.length > 0) && (field[0].type == 'radio'
|| field[0].type == 'checkbox')) {
isChecked=-1;
for (loop=0;loop < field.length;loop++) {
if (field[loop].checked) {
isChecked=loop;
break; // only one needs to be checked
}
}
if (isChecked < 0) {
if (i == 0) {
focusField = field[0];
}
fields[i++] = oRequired[x][1];
isValid=false;
}
}
}
if (fields.length > 0) {
focusField.focus();
alert(fields.join('\n'));
}
return isValid;
}
// Trim whitespace from left and right sides of s.
function trim(s) {
return s.replace( /^\s*/, "" ).replace( /\s*$/, "" );
}

Are you returning false when there is an error in the validation?
if(userName.trim().length() == 0){
alert("Pathetic, technologically inept users must enter a user
name.");
return false;
}
