I am having difficulties with a piece of code that I got on the Javascript page. It is a "check if you agree", submit button that goes to the next page. I am just getting the site up on the server and trying to get it all hooked together. I get a n error " this method of POST not allowed for this url..."

<form action="http://elizabethstewartclarkandcompany.com/CC/CC3/CC3.3/CC3.5.htm" method="POST" onsubmit="return checkCheckBox(this)">
<p align="center"><u><b><font size="4">I accept:</font></b></u> <input type="checkbox" value="0" name="agree">&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="submit" value="Continue to Next Step!">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="button" value="EXIT" onclick="window.close();">


any thoughts???

Thank you in advance,
David

Try changing the action in the form tag to just # and then in the javascript code change it from:
function checkCheckBox(f){
if (f.agree.checked == false )
{
alert('Please check the box to continue.');
return false;
}else
return true;
}to
function checkCheckBox(f){
if (f.agree.checked == false )
{
alert('Please check the box to continue.');
return false;
}else
window.location='pagename.html';
}

I am still a little new at this.

I understand the addition of code you gave me, but I do not understand # in the tag???

The # just stops the action in the form tag from actually running an action. You could leave it blank too. It doesn't have any special meaning.

This iswhat I have been getting each time the check is placed the the "next" button clicked.:(

I can't see this making any difference but try changing POST to lowercase letters. Your host might have the POST method disabled for some strange reason. Contact them to see.
