I am developing a Joomla component, and i got to the point where I need to validate the fields from my form.

I have followed this tutorial, I know it it for Joomla 1.5 but I still prefer this method and it works but I still have a problem. http://docs.joomla.org/Client-side_form_validation

This is my javascript validate function, which is only executed when the form is submitted with the task save.
Code:
<script language="javascript">
        function myValidate(f) {
           if($('#task').val() == "save"){
            if (document.formvalidator.isValid(f)) {
               f.check.value='<?php echo JUtility::getToken(); ?>'; //send token
               return true;
            }
            else {
               var msg = 'O valor dos seguintes campos é inválido:';

               //Example on how to test specific fields
               if($('#email_institucional').hasClass('invalid')){msg += '\n\n\t* Email Institucional';}
               if($('#email_alternativo').hasClass('invalid')){msg += '\n\n\t* Email alternativo';}

               alert(msg);
              //AVOID FORM FROM SUBMITTING CODE HERE

            }
         }
         return false;
      }
           
    </script>


The javascript function is executed "onSubmit", my problem is I need to stop the form from submiting when the form validator is not valid, I've checked on the web and everyone says I only need that function to return false, but in Joomla even with return false the form is submitted =/

Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance :)

Did you put this in your form?
onSubmit="return myValidate(this);"

Then check if Javascript is disabled. If it is not then check for any javascript errors.

Javascript is enabled, no errors in console.

Well I know but I don't want to use that method, I don't want to validate the forms via XML files...

The script is working, when the fields have invalid values, the class "invalid" is added to them but then, instead of no action, the form is still submitted...

Thanks for all the answers :)
