php - Jquery form post errors -

i new in jquery. i'm working on form. title , text (textarea) when fill out fields , click send, 2 alerts appear when click ok 2 times scroll page up. fill in fields , starts again beginning.

how can ensure after 2 checks continues page?

jquery:

    $("#formpages").submit( function(event) {         var title = $('#title').val();         var text = $('#text').val();         if(title == ''){             $("#titleerror").html("<p>fill title</p>");             alert('title empty');         }                if(text == ''){             $("#texterror").html("<p>fill text</p>");             alert('text empty');         }                $("html, body").animate({ scrolltop: 0 }, 600);         event.preventdefault();               }); 

form:

<form class="form" id="formpages"> <div>     <label class="title">title</label>     <div id="titleerror"></div>     <input type="text" id="title" name="title" value="">  </div> <div>     <label class="title">text</label>     <div id="texterror"></div>     <textarea name="text" id="text" rows="14" cols="50"></textarea><br />  </div> <div>     <input class="btn btn-success" type="submit" id="submitbutton"  name="submitbutton" value="submit"> </div> </form> 

you should not use event.preventdefault(); when outside of if statements. code should work this:

$("#formpages").submit( function(event) {     var title = $('#title').val();     var text = $('#text').val();     if(title == ''){         $("#titleerror").html("<p>fill title</p>");         alert('title empty');         event.preventdefault();      }            if(text == ''){         $("#texterror").html("<p>fill text</p>");         alert('text empty');         event.preventdefault();      }            $("html, body").animate({ scrolltop: 0 }, 600);          }); 

have not tested should work expected, comment if errors. check if textarea or title empty better use if (text.length === 0) , if (title.length === 0)

edit

please check jsfiddle here working example, have tested chrome, ff, , ie(i know :d)
