Have you tried onSubmit="return (check(this) && validatePwd(this));"?

[g_vikram_uk]

thanks for the reply ray
i have tried that and it only seems to run the first check and skips the second one.

[fredmv]

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function verify()
{
return (check(document.forms[0]) && validatePwd(document.forms[0]));
}
//]]>
</script><form method="post" action="database/indianOccasions.mdb" onsubmit="return verify();">

Did check(this) fail? If so then the other one will not be called. Javascript is one of many languages that do short circuit evaluation of boolean expressions like that.

I hope not. It let me submit the form without touching any of the fields.
