    Unhappy Validating fields in a js shopping cart

    I am trying to validate some fields in a shopping cart using Simplecart. Everything works as I want it to except that the item is added to the cart even when the error message is displayed. How can I prevent this and have the cart updated only when the fields are used correctly. I have attached the script and a copy of one of the several input fields. Any help would be appreciated. I like having the pop-up error message.
    HTML Code:
    <script language="JavaScript">
    <!--
    function formCheck(formobj){
    // Mandatory fields
    var fieldRequired = Array("name", "Den", "Vol");
    // Description to appear in the dialog box
    var fieldDescription = Array("Name", "Den Type", "Volunteer Type");
    // dialog message
    var alertMsg = "Please complete the following fields:\n";
    
    var l_Msg = alertMsg.length;
    
    for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){
    var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired[i]];
    if (obj){
    switch(obj.type){
    case "select-one":
    if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text == "Select Den", "Select Type"){
    alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
    }
    break;
    case "select-multiple":
    if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){
    alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
    }
    break;
    case "text":
    case "textarea":
    if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){
    alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
    }
    break;
    default:
    }
    if (obj.type == undefined){
    var blnchecked = false;
    for (var j = 0; j < obj.length; j++){
    if (obj[j].checked){
    blnchecked = true;
    }
    }
    if (!blnchecked){
    alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
    }
    }
    }
    }
    
    if (alertMsg.length == l_Msg){
    return true;
    }else{
    alert(alertMsg);
    return false;
    }
    }
    // -->
    </script>
    
    
    
    <form name="formcheck" onsubmit="return formCheck(this);"> 
    <li class="simpleCart_shelfItem">
    <h2 style="margin-bottom: -20px" class="item_name">Volunteer #1</h2>
    <p style="margin-bottom:20px">
    <span class="item_price">$10.00</span>
    <select class="item_Size" name="Vol">
    <option value="Select Type">Vol Type</option>
    <option value="Vol Adult">Adult</option>
    <option value="Vol Boy Scout">Boy Scout</option>
    </select>
    <font size="4">&nbsp; Name</font>
    <input type="text" class="item_name" value="" size="35" name="name" maxlength="40" />
    <input type="hidden" class="item_quantity" value="1" />
    <input type="submit" class="item_add" value="add to cart" />
    </p>
    
    </li>
    </form>

    Sorry, your code is in Java Script. This is a forum for the Java programming language, which is not related to Java Script at all.
