    Hi,
    I’m created custom validation using the before_submit function in the javascript section.
    Is there anyway to stop the form from submitting from within this function?? When I submit the form I see the alert and then the form gets submitted.

    Here is my code 

    function before_submit() {
  if (!jQuery(".prettyRadiobuttons input").is(":checked")) {
      alert("Radio Buttons not checked");
      return false;
    }
}

    Thanks,
    Christian

    Dear Christian,

    Please add the following code instead of the one you use:

    function fm_validation() {
    if (!jQuery(".prettyRadiobuttons input").is(":checked")) {
          alert("Radio Buttons not checked");
    }
    else {
         check_required12('submit', 12);
    }
}

    Where 12 should be replaced with your form Id.

    In addition you should replace the standard Submit button with a custom one typing in the following an an OnClick function: fm_validation()
