My below code is posting at both times when the checkbox is checked or not checked. When its not checked I am getting alert and then posting. But when checked its posting automatically.
I need JavaScript to post the form when Submit button is clicked and checkbox should be kept checked. Else it should just provide me an alert. But unfortunately the page is reloading even when keeping the checkbox unchecked and using submit button.
My code is
<script type="text/javascript">
function check()
{
if(document.getElementById("privacy").checked == true)
{
document.print.submit();
}
else{
alert('Please read and accept our privacy statments to proceed.');
};
}
</script>
