You do know that the disabled property only works in IE, right?
Why don't you use the onsubit action on the form tag to validate data?
Here...
<script language="Javascript">
function checkValues(){
if (whaever.test.value == ""){
return false
}
return true
}
</script>
<form name="whatever" method="post" action="someurl.cfm"
onsubit="Javascript: return checkValues();">
<input name="test" value="">
</form>
The other thing you can do is convert the button from a submit to just a
button. What happens is the submit action will fire regardless of whether
you do anything about it. The onclick even superceeds the submit event, but
that event will fire and you cannot stop it thtough the onlick event of a
submit button.

Subject: RE: make the select menu a must select
Paul,
There are plenty of ways to do this, I often use a disabled submit button
and the following function to re-enable it. However you should always do
error checking on the action form.
- place in the head tag -
function GotChange(j)
{
document.forms[0].go.disabled = false;
}
- place in the head tag -
Then use the onChange event
<select name="ImageNumber" onChange="GotChange();">
<option value="0">Select Options</option>
<option value="1">Options 1 </option>
<option value="2">Options 2 </option>
</select>
Set the Submit button to disabled.
<input type="submit" name="go" value="Upload Files" disabled>
