Cancelling the hyperlink navigation

[maralfarshadi]

Hi

I have a hyperlink in my form, and I am using:

<a href="javascript:myFunction('myTextBox','myFormName','ServletName')"> Go </a>

In my Javascript code, if all goes well, the form gets submitted and the page is forwarded to a servlet. If not, it should just alert the user and cancel the navigation.

if ((Fld.value.length==0) || (Fld.value==null) {
        alert("Please Enter the information");
        return false;  
    }
    else {
        
        //Submit form and go to servlet

    }

I have used the same code for a button and it works without problems. But since this is a hyperlink, instead of cancelling the navigation, I just get a Webpage with 'False' wirtten on top.

Is there a way to implement this with a hyperlink to work as appropriately as a button? I need to use hyperlinks according to design of some forms

Thank you for your help

Try this..[html]<a href="javascrip t:myFunction('m yTextBox','myFo rmName','Servle tName')" onclick="return validate()"> Go </a>[/html]If validation is done in myfunction(), then try to make a separate validate() function.

Thank you very much for suggesting that.
