won't stop submitting

[GarethHop]

I have got a validation script off the internet and for some reason when i perform the checkForm2 and checkForm3 functions they don't stop the form from submitting once the alert has been dismissed.
below is the code for my validation script.
the validation script is called via onSubmit on the form.

any help would be gratefully recieved

// requires regex to be passed as a parameter
function checkField(theForm, theField, theFieldDisplay, objRegex)
{
objField = eval("document." + theForm + "." + theField);

if(!objRegex.test(objField.value))
{
alert("Please enter a valid " + theFieldDisplay + "")

objField.select();

objField.focus();
objField.style.border = "2px solid #c30"
return (false);
}
objField.style.border = "2px solid #000000";
return (true);

}

// regex for the various form fields


objReference = /^[0-9]{6}$/;

objLender = /^[a-zA-Z]{3}$/;

objTime = /^([0-9]{2})+([:0-9]{3})/;

objComment = /([a-zA-Z])/;

objFeedback = /([a-zA-Z]{1,100})/;



function checkForm(theForm)
{

if(checkField(theForm, "reference", "Ref", objReference)
&&
checkField(theForm, "lender_code", "Lender Code", objLender)
&&
checkField(theForm, "time", "Time hh:mm", objTime))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

function checkForm2(theForm)
{

if(checkField(theForm, "comment", "Comment", objComment))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

function checkForm3(theForm)
{
if(checkField(theForm, "feedback", "Feedback", objFeedback))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

How? Can you show us the form tag?

[GarethHop]

<form method=post name="name" onSubmit="checkForm('name')">

[Chikara]

HTML error
<form method=post name="name" onSubmit="checkForm('name')">

should be
<form method=post name="name" onSubmit="return checkForm('name');">
