simple if/else form check(should be simple)
<p>simple if/else took a dump on me.....it was working fine(copied from prev proj), made some 
changes and now nothing.</p>

<p>i deleted it all and wrote a simple function to check for empty and nothing, the form is still going to next page...and it was JUST working.</p>

<p>so now i make the simplest possible one and so...its still messed up so, what am i missing.
should b simple.</p>

<p>i need a break lol</p>

<p>heres the code.</p>

<p>html:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;form name="mainForm" action="formProc.php" method="get"  id="mainForm" onSubmit="return allChecks();" &gt;


&lt;input type="text" name="name" id="name"/&gt;

&lt;/form&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>js:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;

$(document).ready( function(){
    //formVars
    var name = $('#name');

function allChecks(){
    if(name.val()==""){
        alert("lopan"); 
        return false;
    }

        if(name.val()===""){
        alert("lopan"); 
        return false;
    }

        if(name.val()== null){
        alert("lopan"); 
        return false;
    }
return false;
}

});
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>As you can see...im basically TRYING to force a "false" on the form and it
STILL goes onto the next page.</p>

<p>so dummying it down even further.</p>

<p>i create another button in the form with type="button", declare it and well, this</p>

<pre><code>var btn= $('#clearF');

btn.click(allChecks);
</code></pre>

<p>Then this works...so im lost.</p>

<p>edit*** 
im trying to force a false/prevent from going to next page because, as i was adding validation to the fields, i noticed it went through to next page whether value was true or not...after troubleshooting a while i decided to see why its going to next page by itself...hence the trying to force false and failing the prevent it from going to next page.</p>

<p>***end edit</p>

<p>Any tips/ideas/point out some DUMB thing im doing....dont hesitate to point it out
Thanks in advanced.</p>
