What you need to do is prevent the form from being submitted, or control when it is submitted. >Instead of using the onclick attribute on the button you should be using the onsubmit attribute in >the form tag to control this. Fairly good explanation of this here: > > http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_FORM_onSubmit.html > >-Stut -Stut: Great suggestion, but I think an "upload file" a different critter. http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_INPUT_TYPE_FILE.html For example, I took my above code and changed it like so -- <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" onSubmit="javascript:sndReq()"> <input type="file" name="image" value="30000"> <input type="hidden" name="stage" value="1"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> -- and the result was the same. The file uploaded, but nothing happened. I also took the code you referenced, exactly "as-was" and I changed the <FORM statement to -- <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" onSubmit="return TestDataCheck()"> -- and it didn't work the way one would expect either. Apparently, the "built-in" upload-file thing has it's own way of processing events. What do you think?
