I have jsp page -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<legend>Create new customer</legend>
<script Language="JavaScript">
function checkForm() {
alert("YOU ARE IN checkForm FUNCTION !");
return (false);
}
</script>
<form action="CreateCustomerServlet" method="GET" onsubmit="checkForm">
// form fields ...
<input type="submit" value="Create customer" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I run on server this page and press on the submit
button I see that it ignore checkForm
and don't enter him , and directly go to CreateCustomerServlet
.
My goals is that when press on submit
it go to checkForm
and if checkForm
returns true
only then it will go to CreateCustomerServlet
. what I have to change in order to get this goal ?
Try
You should replace
By
You should use
because only when
false
is returned fromonSubmit
will it be stopped , or else it will continue submitting the form.
