nwebie onsubmit

[bbxrider]

the onreset is working but problem somewhere in the onsubmit or the function
it calls.
i have abbreviated the called verfiy function for now just to get the basic
onsubmit part working
basically the screen just gives a flash and it also alters the initial html
code after the form tag,
which seems really weird to me
this is kind of long but pretty basic i think
need some help please

onsubmit and reset code:
<FORM onSubmit="
this.firstname. optional=true;
this.lastname.o ptional=true;
this.addr1.opti onal=true;
this.city.optio nal=true;
this.state.opti onal=true;
this.zip.min=0;
this.zip.max=99 999;
this.homephone. optional=true;
this.email.opti onal=true;
return verify(this);
"
onreset = "
return confirm('do you really want to erase '+
'everything entered and start over from scratch?');
"[color=blue]
>[/color]
html code for the form, the verify function is after all the html code

the verify function:
<script languauge="java script">
function verify(f)
// verifies all the fields set for verification and messages
{
if confirm('this will return true(ok) or false(cancel)' {
return true;
else
return false;
}
var msg;
var empFld = "";l
var errors = ""
............... lots more verification code here once i can at least get a
confirm to display
}

Re: nwebie onsubmit

can't seem to get anything to run concerning submit????

since the first post i've tried the alternative to the 'standard' submit :
<input type="button" value="submit" onClick="verify (this.form)">

the code so far in 'verify()' is only a confirm() but that won't even come
up
function verify(f)
// verifies all the fields set for verification and messages
{
confirm('return true=ok or false=cancel');
return true;
}
