hey people I have a javascript validation code for a form, it validates the form, then it redirects them to the next page without requiring them to enter the correct information. please help me out.:cry:

Thank you ahead of time

here is the code:
Code:
function validateFormOnSubmit(theForm) {
var reason = "";

reason += validateUsername(theForm.username);
reason += validatePassword(theForm.password);
reason += validateConfirmPassword(theForm.confirmpass);
reason += validateEmail(theForm.email);
reason += validateConfirmEmail(theForm.confirmemail);
reason += validateSiteTitle(theForm.sitetitle);

if (reason != "") {
alert("The following field(s) need to be corrected:\n\n" + reason);
return false;
}

return true;
}

function validateUsername(fld) {
var error = "";
var illegalChars = /\W/; // allow letters, numbers, and underscores

if (fld.value == "") {
fld.style.background = 'Yellow';
error = "You didn't enter a username.\n";
} else if ((fld.value.length < 1) || (fld.value.length > 50)) {
fld.style.background = 'Yellow';
error = "The username is the wrong length.\n";
} else if (illegalChars.test(fld.value)) {
fld.style.background = 'Yellow';
error = "The username contains illegal characters.\n";
} else {
fld.style.background = 'White';
}
return error;
}

Do you have an example (on a site or something) that'll make things much easier for me...
