javascript and jsp

I have a problem with my jsp file... inside it I have a form and in that form I have an onsubmit method that is basically calling a javascript... the problem is that whenever I click on a button it always redirects me to the page, whether it's true or false

I guess, you are using "Submit" button and thus form gets submitted anyway. Use a normal button set onclick event for that and write form submitting code in java script function.

May this help.

You likely have something like:

<form onsubmit="someFunction()">

instead of

<form onsubmit="return someFunction()">

Fix it accordingly.

what cherouvim said.

also, in the case that the onsubmit handler already should be returning false, if there's any javascript error in the handler, then the return statement may never get evaluated and the form will submit.

You probably need to return false after the javascript processing which is bound on the button click.
