OK, I have it now.  I used :

//for the submit button
onSubmit=validateFields();

//then in validateFields I got the form
and checked each field for a value and then submitted when all had a value,
like so:
var thisForm
= document.forms[0];
         
      
         
      if(thisForm.comp.value
== '')
         
      {
     
               
  alert('Company
name is required.');
         
              thisForm.comp.focus();
         
              return;
         
      }
     
          else if(thisForm.desc.value
== '')
         
      {
     
               
  alert('Short
description is required.');
         
              thisForm.desc.focus();
         
              return;
         
      }
     
          else if(thisForm.addr.value
== '')
         
      {
     
               
  alert('An
address is required.');
         
              thisForm.addr.focus();
         
              return;
         
      }
     
          ///....etc.
         
      else
     
          {
     
               
  thisForm.method.value
= 'POST';
         
              thisForm.action
= 'FormProcessor?action=a';
         
              thisForm.submit();
         
      }

Thanks for the help everyone.  My
problem is that I did not know you could perform the commands in that last
else in javascript.

Subject	[ajug-members]: jsp form question

Good morning all, 

I have a question about form submission.  I have a jsp that has a
form of about 12 input fields.  All of the fields are required to
have something in them.  Is there a way to have a javascript to do
this and then still POST the form to a servlet? 

Thanks, 

-Jason
