QuickForm: client validation question

Hey all, Here's my issue, I need to use the HTML_QuickForm client validation as a test to see whether to run my AJAX call. Here's what the onsubmit looks like by default: onsubmit="try {var myValidator = validate_my_form;} catch(e) {return true;}return myValidator(this);" Here's what I basically need to do: if(try {var myValidator = validate_my_form;} catch(e) {return true;}return myValidator(this);){new Ajax.Request('/controller/action', {options}, asynchronous:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)})}; return false; This returns an error. I also tried wrapping an eval('') call around the validation code, which fixed it in Safari but still returns an error in FF and IE. I was hoping to avoid having to extend the QuickForm class in order to fix this (since it will take a bit of acrobatics for my app). anyone have any ideas? -- tim glen senior developer nonfiction studios inc. http://nonfiction.ca/ p 403 686 8887
