Javascript onSubmit

I am trying to utilize a form to display a message and not submit when
the submit button is clicked, here is an example on what I have done:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function tst()
{
alert('hi');
return false;
}
-->
</script>

<form name=form1 onSubmit=tst();>
.....
....
</form>

When I submit the form, I get the alert message and then the page
refreshes, what I would like is to submit and see the message and then
be returned to the form without having it submit.

You need to:
1) run your HTML through a validator before you start debugging scripts
2) use onsubmit="return tst()"

Remember that in-line listeners are bundled into a function and called
by the handler, they must return false to cancel submit, so:

<form ... onsubmit="return tst();">


And don't forget to put quotes around attribute vaules. They aren't
always necessary, but it's a good habit and it is needed here. :-)
