zq29 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 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? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/25290-return-false/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

zq29 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Not to worry now guys, the 'return false' actually was working in the first place - Something else along the line wasn't!
