Steve:

A simple one entry won't demonstrate the problem. Please follow:

http://webbytedd.com/ccc/test-onsubmit/index.php

Form One uses the onsubmit="return checkForm(this);" where as Form 
Two uses onsubmit="checkForm(this);"

Now, without entering anything click the top Submit button. An alert 
will ask you to enter something in Anything 1.

Enter something and click Submit again. An alert will ask you to 
enter something in Anything 2.

Enter something and click Submit again. At this time the form will process.

Now, without entering anything click the bottom Submit button. An 
alert will ask you to enter something in Anything 1.

Enter something and click Submit again. An alert will ask you to 
enter something in Anything 1. BUT, please note that the form 
processed before having both fields populated -- not desired.

As you can see, the performance of these two are not the same.

Now, what am I misunderstanding?

Cheers,

tedd
