javascript doesn't work

[Bahman]

Hello!

I have a .net form in an IE6 browser. I have a javascript validate function
that returns false if user hits cancel.

From testing, I can see when I click submit and cancel, the javascript is
returning the false code to the button correctly.

However, the asp page continues with execution and the code runs (which was
not supposed to in this instance!).

Is there an obvious explanation for this?

Thank you!

Can you post the actual 'onclick' event line in the control, from your code?

is it something like onclick='return javascriptFunction();'

I am very sorry.

This question was not appropriate.

Please forgive me!

Maybe I am not understanding .... but your situation seems similar to a
problem I eventually resolved. After great tears .... I eventually discovered
that Button objects FORCE a postback regardless of true or false returned. I
replaced all Buttons with Image controls, added an "OnClick" attribute to the
control and in the JavaScript I fire __doPostBack('',''); when I want to
complete the code, otherwise I return false.
