Form submits when input is null

    I want to prevent form submission when there is no input in the text boxes but the form submits even when the input is empty. How do I fix this?

    <input type="text" size="30" id="zip" name="zip"><br />
    <input type="text" size="30" id="phone" name="phone">
    
    var input = $("#zip").val();
    var input1 = $("#phone").val();
    
    if ( $.trim(input).length == 0 || $.trim(input1).length == 0 ){
        event.preventDefault();
        }
    Code (JavaScript):
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Continue</button>

    It's because you haven't wrapped it in a function-call, and "event" is not defined. This works:
    $('button[type=submit]').click(function(event) {
    var input = $("#zip").val();
    var input1 = $("#phone").val();
    console.log(input.length);
    if ( $.trim(input).length == 0 || $.trim(input1).length == 0 ){
    event.preventDefault();
    }
    })
    Code (JavaScript):
