I'm having problems trying to validate an entire form using Javascript.
"Add JavaScript code to produce an error message and suppress submission of the form if any quantity field contains non-numeric data. (It's OK for a quantity to be empty, but if it's non-empty, it must have only numbers.) Add an action= attribute to your tag to submit the form to a website (not going to put actual website). Test that the form is submitted correctly when the quantities are numeric or empty, and that an error message is produced otherwise."
I've done all the instructions asked me to do and it isn't working. We are supposed to use the form that we created in one of the previous labs. Here is the code that I have been working on.

return false;

It is probably something minor that I have overlooked or something. Oh and we had to save the files in .php so maybe that has a lot to do with it.
