2. HTML

There is HTML part and beware of these 3 points:

You must contain action=”javascript:void(0)” onsubmit=”return checking(‘your_url’);” in the form tab. action=”javascript:void(0)” is for stop submiiting the form, onsubmit=”return checking(‘your_url’); mean run the javascript function named checking() and pass the form submittion target to the javascript funvtion. Text box are idenified with the id name. Radio and checkbox are idenified with the input flied name.

<form name="demo_form" method="POST" action="javascript:void(0)" onsubmit="return checking('success.html');">
