lt form action  javascript completeAndRedirect     gt       lt input type  text  id  Edit1       style  width 280  height 50  font-family  Lucida Sans Unicode    Lucida Grande   sans-serif  font-size 22px  gt   lt  form gt    Changing action to point at your function would solve the problem  in a different way

You need to prevent the default behaviour  You can either use e preventDefault   or return false  In this case  the best thing is  you can use return false  here    lt form onsubmit  completeAndRedirect    return false   gt
