Else and alerts

Question- I have a page where a user can create a username and password. The username and password is stored in an access database. When the user hits submit on the fist page it calls an asp page that enters it in the access database. The issue I have is with verifying the passwords. I get it to popup the error when the passwords don’t match but I can get it to reset the page so the user can reenter there information. This is the code I’m user

<html>
<head>
<title>Account Create</title>
<script language="javascript">

</script>
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="safari 011">
</head>

<body>

<p style="background-color: #FF0000; color: #FF0000"></p>

<p align="center">Please enter your Email Address and password.</p>

<form method="POST" name="myForm" action="M_Create_account.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="PWD">
<table border="5">
<tr>
<td>Email Address</td>
<td><input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bordercolorlight="#FF0000" bordercolordark="#FF0000">Password</td>
<td bordercolorlight="#FF0000" bordercolordark="#FF0000"><input type="password" name="T2" size="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Repeat Password</td>
<td><input type="password" name="T3" size="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" bordercolorlight="#FF0000" bordercolordark="#FF0000">
<p align="center">
<input type="submit" onClick="checkMe()" value="Submit" name="account.asp">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<p align="center" style="background-color: #FF0000; color: #FF0000"></p>
</body>
</html>

Code:

else {
alert("Passwords do not match!");
document.forms['myForm'].reset();
}

should work.

I added the lines but it still didn’t work. It popup the error that the passwords don’t match but It does resets fields. I’m not sure about the open and close brackets.
}
else
alert("Passwords do not match!");
document.forms['myForm'].reset();
}

Code:

function checkMe()
{

if (document.myForm.T2.value == document.myForm.T3.value)
{
document.myForm.PWD.value=document.myForm.T2.value;
document.myForm.submit();
}
else
{
alert("Passwords do not match!");
document.forms['myForm'].reset();
}

}

That should help a bit more.

I copied and pasted your suggestion and it’s still not working. I get the Pop up that the passwords don’t match, instead of resetting the form it brings me to the next page saying no updates and give me a lick to my next page.

In the else{} block, add to the end:
return false;

That might fix it. . .

Still no good, I tried with the return at the end and I also tried with it in the middle as you can see. Thanks for your help on this.

<!--
function checkMe()
{

if (document.Account_Create.T2.value == document.Account_Create.T3.value)
{
document.Account_Create.PWD.value=document.Account _Create.T2.value;
document.Account_Create.submit();
}
else
{
alert("Passwords do not match!");
return false;
document.forms['Account_Create'].reset();
}

}

I asked someone to move this topic to the JavaScript forum since this should be a topic for that forum. I'm currently out of ideas. I hope you get more help there. :-)

Thanks rpgfan3233

I just noticed that it does clear the form but instead of staying on the same page it jump to the next page, how do I get it not to jump to the next page?
