cancel a form action 1

[tyris]

hi all;
i do have a button in a form.
what i want is to do something like :

if (document.myForm.searchDone.value != "ok&quot {
alert("You may not have selected a currency"
STOP THE FORM SUBMIT ACTION
}

i thought i could do this :
<INPUT name=apply type=submit value=Update onclick=&quot;(here is my test and here i stop the action)&quot;>

what could i do ?

i have tryed

<INPUT name=apply type=submit value=Update onclick=&quot;if (document.myForm.searchDone.value != &quot;ok&quot ? alert(&quot;You may not have selected a currency&quot; return false;&quot;>

but i do have to error :&quot;syntax error&quot;

where is the problem ?

try:

<script>
function validate(){
if (document.myForm.searchDone.value != &quot;ok&quot {
alert(&quot;You may not have selected a currency&quot;
return false}
return true
}
</script>

<form onsubmit=&quot;return validate()&quot;>

This will stop the form from submitting if validate returns false. jared@eae.net -
