how to stop submit 1

[hmcheung]

I've got a code like this:


<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

function check(){
if (criteria){
alert ('Please make a valid selection.')}

}

</script>

<form action=mypage.asp onsubmit=check()>
....................
</form>




Now if the criteria is fulfilled, the alert box comes out. After the user press on the button on the alert box, the form will continue to submit. How can I keep stop the form from submitting and bring the user back to select again? Thanks! [sig][/sig]

Try this in your function:-

function check(){
if (criteria){
alert ('Please make a valid selection.');

return false;

}
}

In addition to what fatbloke posted, you also have to change your form tag to accept the return value:

<form action='mypage.asp' onsubmit='return check()'>
