Form action question

[sqoti]

I have this

*********************************************************
<Form Action =&quot;

http://www.whatever.html&quot;

method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;form1&quot;>
<textarea name=&quot;notetext&quot; rows=2 cols=30 ></textarea>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Save&quot; onclick=&quot;editit();&quot; >
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;EMPNO&quot; value=&quot;variable1&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;ID&quot; value=&quot;variable2&quot;>
</center>
</form>

function editit(){
if (this)
{
alert(&quot;something&quot;
}
else
{
process text
}
}
****************************************************
What I want to do is if this condition calls for the alert I don't want the form to process. I just want it to stop after user selects ok on the alert popup. I was thinking return false, but that doesn't work.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Instead of using onclick=&quot;editit();&quot; in your input tag, do [red]onsubmit=&quot;return editit()&quot;[/red] in your <form> tag.
Then change your function to:
function editit(){
if (this)
{
alert(&quot;something&quot;
return false
}
else
{
return true
}
}

return false should work, as long as you have

onSubmit=&quot;return editit()&quot;

as the submission event.

Hope that helps. Dean Owen
