I'm using the onClick event instead of the onSubmit and it seems PHP variables are not set correctly. Basiclly I have an input button with an onClick event. When the event is fired, a javascript function is executed where I do some checks and if everything is ok, the form is submitted. Then the problem is that when I check if the variable linked to the button is set the answer is false.

I'd appreciate if someone could help me ,

    Maybe some code so we can see what the problem is? Our telepathy is a lil off these days

      ----- onClick.php ------
      <HTML>
      <head>
      <script language="JavaScript">
      function check() {
      if (form1.nombre.value == "") {
      alert("obligatorio");
      result false;
      }
      form1.submit();
      }

      </head>
      <body>
      <FORM METHOD="POST" action="onClick2.php" name="form1">
      <input type="text" name="nombre" value="">
      <input type="button" name="aceptar" value="aceptar" onClick="check()">
      </form>
      </body>
      </html>

      ----- onClick2.php ------
      <?php printf(isset($aceptar)); ?>

        Try this:

        <HTML>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function check() {
  if (form1.nombre.value == "") {
    alert("obligatorio");
    return false;
  } else {
    return true;
  }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<FORM METHOD="POST" action="onClick2.php" name="form1" onsubmit="return check();">
<input type="text" name="nombre" value="">
<input type="submit" name="aceptar" value="aceptar">
</form>
</body>
</html>

          you do realies you dont have a </script> at the end????

            you're right the </script> should be there. Lost possibly during the copy/paste.

            I forgot to say that i've tried with the onSubmit event before and it worked fine. It's when using onClick that it doesn't work

              This just may be my being slow--But why do you have result false, instead of return false?

                I'm resposting the bit of code because it had quite a few mistakes because i was typing it.
