return false

[zq29]

I'm needing to trigger a JavaScript function "on submit" of a form, but I don't want the form submitted to the script denoted in the action attribute. As far as I was aware, this would be done by adding in a 'return false' within the 'onsubmit' attribute, like so:
[code]<form name='edit_user' action='insert.php' method='post' onsubmit='sendRequest(); return false'>[/code]
Although, when clicking the submit button within this form, in FireFox, it submits and goes to insert.php. In IE, it just prompts me to download insert.php...

Am I missing something?

maybe nothing but put the semi colon after return false.

and why are you still using single quotes for html attribute values?? u naughty boy! ;)

[/quote]Because I'm actually echo'ing that code from within some PHP, and I couldn't be arsed to escape double quotes!

Not to worry now guys, the 'return false' actually was working in the first place - Something else along the line wasn't!
