How to check form Validity by Javascript

You write a code for a login or signup form which is connected to Database. So if you don't setup instant checking whether any field is empty or not on click of submit/login/signup button, an empty value or null value can be saved to your database. You can easily check the form validity; means if there is any empty field or not by Javascript.

In the following code you can see I write a Javascript function within <head> and </head> tag. It takes the values of Username & Password field from the form on Submission. And then check the values whether it's empty or not empty. Thats it.
 
<html>
     <head>
          <script language="Javascript">
                function formval()
                {
                      var a = document.forms["form"] ["username"].value;
                      var b = document.forms["form"] ["pass"].value;
                      if(a == "" || a==null)
                      {
                           alert("Username field is Empty");
                           return false;
                      }
                      if(b == "" || b == null)
                      {
                           alert("Password field is Empty");
                           return false;
                      }
                }
            </script>
     </head>
     <body>
        <div align="center"><form action="entry.php" name="form" onsubmit="return formval()">
             Username: <input type="text" name="username" size="20">
             Password: <input type="password" name="pass" size="20">
             <input type="submit" name"submit" value="Submit">
        </form></div>
     </body>
</html>
 
Copy the above code and save it by any name with extension .html and run it on your browser and check whether it works or not.
