Question

How do I continue to a url after a javascript check?

Asked by: hatap

I am trying to develop a simple javascript AVS.
I have most of the code correct but after submitting the form does not continue to the said url.
To test see the form, you need to go to http://www.opportunitynowhere.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum3/Blah.pl
Login, Username: Test Password: test
I start with this url:
http://www.opportunitynowhere.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum3/Blah.pl?b-adult1/

But after the form has done the checks, the url is replace with:
http://www.opportunitynowhere.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum3/Blah.pl?dob_day=26&dob_month=08&dob_year=58&C1=0

Can anyone help with keeping the same url so after form processing I keep the original url.

Many Thank's

Here is the javascript:
