Javascript validate on form Submit

Hi I want to validate the field values before submit the form here is my code

<table width="600" border="0" align="left">
<tr>
<script type="text/javascript">
function previewPrint()
{

var RegNumber = document.getElementById('PP_RegNoTextBox').value;
var PassportNo = document.getElementById('PP_PassportNoTextBox').value;
if (RegNumber=="")
{
    alert("Please enter your Reg No.!");
    document.getElementById('RegNoTextBox').focus();
    return false;
}
if (PassportNo=="")
{
    alert("Please enter your Passport No.!");
    document.getElementById('PassportNoTextBox').focus();
    return false;
}
    //window.open('regformview.php?RegNumber=RegNumber');
    }
    </script>
<form name="ppform" onSubmit="return previewPrint();" method="post" action="regformview.php">   
<td width="100" align="LEFT" class="font8">&nbsp; </td>
<td width="337" align="LEFT" class="font8"><u>Preview your Application:</u> Please provide requested details.<br>
  Reg No.: <input type="text" name="printregno" id="PP_RegNoTextBox" class="input2"> Passport No.:  <input type="text" name="printemail" class="input2"><input type="hidden" name="flagging" id="PP_PassportNoTextBox" value="1" class="input2">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="50" align="LEFT" class="font8"><div style="float:left; background-image:url(images/printPreview1.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;">   
  <input type="image" src="images/printPreview1.jpg" name="ppbutton" value="" onMouseOver="this.src='images/printPreview2.jpg'" onMouseOut="this.src='images/printPreview1.jpg'"></div></td>

</form>
   </tr>
</table>

Problem is its showing the alert box correctly if it blank but the page is navigating to regformview.php after submitting. How to navigate to regformview.php only after validation.?

Everything is fine, except you have error in your script with let you submit even if validation fails.

change the following lines 

 document.getElementById('PassportNoTextBox').focus();

and 

document.getElementById('RegNoTextBox').focus();

as

 document.getElementById('PP_PassportNoTextBox').focus();

and 

 document.getElementById('PP_RegNoTextBox').focus();

These are undefined:

document.getElementById('RegNoTextBox').focus();
document.getElementById('PassportNoTextBox').focus();

it should be:

document.getElementById('PP_RegNoTextBox').focus();
document.getElementById('PP_PassportNoTextBox').focus();
