Hi,
Try
<input type=\"button\" ...
instead of
<input type=\"submit\" ...
If the user passes the validation then change the location property of the
window object in the event handler.
Gurhan.

Subject: client side validation to reduce overhead
>I have been using a servlet to perform the validation of the values entered
by a user in a
>form. To reduce the overhead, I am trying to use client-side validation
using Javascript.
>Is it possible to overcome the following problem:
>I have a form with several fields. Now, the action of this form is a
script(servlet) that
>will take the values and add them to a table.
>out.println("<p><small><small><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Add
Complaint\" name=\"Add\"
>onClick=\"chgcase()\">");
>I am performing clientside Javascript validation of the fields by using a
function ( called
>on clicking the Sumbit button of the form). If there is a problem, an alert
box is brought
>up telling the user what the error is, but if the user clicks on the OK
button of the alert
>box, they are taken to the next page ( ie. the page mentioned in the
action-servlet ). Any
>way to prevent this until no alert boxes are displayed.
>Thanks
