[nelsonmb]

hi,

can I prevent to refresh da page where I have this form?
because when i submit it open correctly the page but it refresh the main page to that take more time to open the request page.

<form name=\"form_contact\" method=\"post\"

onClick=\"window.open('menu_main.php?id_med=".mysql_result($rs, $n, "id")."','Forms','dependent=yes height=550,width=700,resize=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes')\">

<td align=\"right\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"contact\" value=\"Contact\">
</td>

</form>

Anyone knows how can I prevent to refresh/reload the first page to?

Thanks,
Nelson

You can simply return false, like this:

<form onsubmit="return some_function (this)">
...
</form>

Or using a submit button's onclick="" attribute:

<form>
<input type="submit" value="Click Me!" onclick="return some_function (this.form)" />
</form>

Then in the JavaScript:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function some_function (form) {
   // do some stuff, but make sure you end with the following:
   return false;
}

</script>

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Yes, you need to return "false", so for instance :

<form name=\"form_contact\" method=\"post\"

onClick=\"window.open('menu_main.php?id_med=".mysql_result($rs, $n, "id")."','Forms','dependent=yes height=550,width=700,resize=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes'); [COLOR=orangered]return(false);[/COLOR]\">
