seanlim Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 try changing your onsubmit handler to "submit(this); return false;". I think the submit function isn't returning a value to the onsubmit event handler, so the form continues to be processed the "normal" way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
