Diverting the Submit 1

[scohan]

Is there a way to stop the submittal of the form to the server, because, for example, a field is not filled out? I'd like to be able to use an onclick event to the submit control and if a field is empty, pop-up an alert, but don't submit the form. Thanks.

<script>

function checkForm(){
if (document.myForm.myField.value == &quot;&quot{
alert(&quot;blank field&quot
return false
}
return true
}

<form action=&quot;someAct.asp&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return checkForm()&quot; name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
