Javascript form validation and redirect to thank you page.

I need to use only javscript for this

[AliciaHarper]

I have to validate the form and then redirect (up successful submission) to a thankyou page.

here is my code:

<form action="mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Music Festival Volunteer" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onSubmit= "return checkrequired(this)">

<p class="regtext" ><b style='color:red'>*</b> fields marked with a asterisk are required</p>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="8" class="regtext">
<tr>
<td width="54%"><b style='color:red'>*</b>First Name:
<td colspan="2"><input type='text' name='requiredFirstName' id='FirstName' size='20' maxlength='20' value='' /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b style='color:red'>*</b>Last Name:</td>
<td colspan="2"><span class="ftbl_row_2a">

</span></td>
</tr>

</tr>

<td colspan="2"><span class="ftbl_row_1a">

<tr>

<td colspan="2"><span class="ftbl_row_2a">

<label accesskey=''>
<input type='checkbox' style="padding-right:10px;" name='VolunteeredBefore' id='VolunteeredBefore[1]' value='Yes' />
</label>
Yes </span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b style='color:red'>*</b>Position:</td>
<td colspan="2"><span class="ftbl_row_1a">
<select name='Position' id='Position'>

<tr>

</div></td>
<td width="27%"> <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit Form' /></td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

and here is my current javascript:

function checkrequired(which) {
var pass=true;
for (i=0;i<which.length;i++) {
var tempobj=which.elements[i];
if (tempobj.name.substring(0,8)=="required") {
if (((tempobj.type=="text"¦¦tempobj.type=="textarea")&&
tempobj.value=='')¦¦(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&
tempobj.selectedIndex==0)) {
pass=false;
break;
}
}
}
if (!pass) {
shortFieldName=tempobj.name.substring(8,30).toUpperCase();
alert("The "+shortFieldName+" field is a required field.");
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}

Is it possible to do the re-direct in the external javascript file? Such as if else, return true and redirect?

ANy help would be greatly appreciated - I have been struggling with this for awhile.
