hey guys!

the image submit button is now perfectly working except that i have a validation function onsubmit!

the form should not do the action when a "return false" is given by the onsubmit function. this works ok when usin an input type=button but it's not working with the image. the function is run but although the function returns false, the action is still being executed! what shall be done?

I think you have to do this with an <img> and the "OnClick"-Funktion.

it's the same thing even with the <img> tag

the problem is that the action in the form is still being executed although the checkform function is returning false


here is the code

<FORM ACTION="abc.asp" METHOD="post" name="mainform" onsubmit="return checkform();">

<input>
<input>
...
...

<input type=image src=... onclick=mainform.submit()>
</form>

when there is something wrong with the form, the "return checkform()" function will return a "false" to the form and the action="abc.asp" will not be executed => we still remain on the same page....

however, in this case (i.e. using image submit instead of button submit) the action="abc.asp" is being executed nomatter what the function returns...

Try this

<FORM ACTION="abc.asp" METHOD="post" name="mainform" onSubmit="event.returnValue=false;">

i realized that the "document.mainform.submit()" function in the "onclick" event is refreshing the page...i think this refreshing of the page is causing the whole problem... is there any other way to call a submit function?

I din't mean to use an <INPUT TYPE="Image" ....>, I was talking about using a normal <IMG>-Tag.
When someone klicks on the image, the function "checkform()" is launched, and in this function (if it is true) the form is submittet.

something like this

hey guys, everything is AOK with webpage programming except that there's this major problem... I have an access database full of records, and I will keep on filling records. the problem is that I have to let others fill in records too coz I have a lot of them.. so i want a way to get all records from the other (similar) databases and put them in the original...

I have related tables, and i want all data to be accurate..

Is there a possible way to get out of this crisis?
