Migrating a Vm from Workstation to ESXI

I had a problem with a migrated vm not knowing that it's network card details had changed a bit:

here seems to be the key steps

Go into /etc/udev/rules.d and delete the 70-persistent-net.rules file and DO NOT reboot.

 Go into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and manually update to the MAC of your new NIC card. 

 I found that removing almost everything in the ifcfg-eth0 file was necessary

 Reboot and the network should come alive. 

 The important bits seem to be 

 DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPADDR="x.x.x.x"
NETMASK="x.x.x.x"
GATEWAY="x.x.x.x"

It's real simple. All you need to do is call a javascript function in a html  " onsubmit " in the form tag as a javascript return, like this       <form method="post" action="dosomething.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();"> If the code completes ok, the form is then sent to the page listed in "action" http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp If the function specified in the onsubmit returns false, then the form is not sent to the page mentioned in action.
