<apex:commandButton> and <apex:commandLink> not invoking action method

Hi,

I need a urgent help.

I have an <apex:commandButton> and <apex:commandLink> both of which has an onclick javasctipt function and also an action method in the controller. In the javascript, I am doing form validations and returning true or false depending on whether error is present or not. Hence, if the javascript returns true, action method should be invoked and if returned false, action method should not be invoked.

The problem I am facing is, whenever a Javascript error is not present, action method is not getting invoked intermittently. This is a very inconsistent issue which is happening. Sometimes the action method do gets called but sometimes not.

I have also used <html><body> before <apex:form> in order to avoid this issue but it still happens.

Below is the part of the code:

<apex:commandLink value="Save As Draft" onclick="this.value='Saving...'; return displayError(this.value);" action="{!saveArchiveRequestAsDraft}" styleClass="cartBtn1 rightSpace saveAsDraft" id="SaveButton"/>
<apex:commandButton value="Complete" action="{!completeRequest}" styleClass="cartBtn1 rightSpace" id="CompleteButton" rendered="{!OR(objDisplayArchiveRequest.Status__c ==         $Label.QREF_Archive_Draft_Request_Status,objDisplayArchiveRequest.Status__c ==       '',objDisplayArchiveRequest.Status__c == null)}" onclick="return displayError(this.value);" />

The javascript that is invoked is:

function displayError(buttonName){
            $('.successMessage').css({'display':'none'});
            if(buttonName == 'Save As Draft'){
                $('[id*=SaveButton]').val('Saving...');
            }
            $('[id*=ErrorMessagePanel]').hide();
            var error = false;
            var message = 'Please check the following errors: <ul>';
            var reGoodDate = /^((0?[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)?[0-9]{2})*$/;
            $('[id*=errorMsg]').css({'color':'red'});
            
            if($('[id*=departmentNumber]').val() == '' || $('[id*=departmentNumber]').val() == null)
            {
                error = true;
                var message = message + '<li>Department Number is mandatory</li>';
            }
            if($('[id*=documentOwner]').val() == '' || $('[id*=documentOwner]').val() == null)
            {
                error = true;
                var message = message + '<li>Content Owner is mandatory</li>';
            }
            if($('[id*=documentType]').val() == '' || $('[id*=documentType]').val() == null)
            {
                error = true;
                var message = message + '<li>Content Type is mandatory</li>';
            } 
            if($('[id*=IsRetRequired]').val() == 'Y' && ( $('[id*=RetentionReq]').val() == null || $('[id*=RetentionReq]').val() == ''))
            {                
                error = true;
                var message = message + '<li>If Is there a Retention Requirement is Y then Retention Requirement is mandatory</li>';
            }           
           
            if($('[id*=shortDescription]').val() == '' || $('[id*=shortDescription]').val() == null)
            {
                error = true;

            }

<apex:commandButton> and <apex:commandLink> not invoking action method

Hi,

I need a urgent help.

I have also used <html><body> before <apex:form> in order to avoid this issue but it still happens.

Below is the part of the code:

<apex:commandLink value="Save As Draft" onclick="this.value='Saving...'; return displayError(this.value);" action="{!saveArchiveRequestAsDraft}" styleClass="cartBtn1 rightSpace saveAsDraft" id="SaveButton"/>
