submit based on the Javascript function called via onclick attribute in <h:commandbutton>

In a form i used i called a Javascript function. Though the function returns false , form is submitted and action method is called.

i used like this

<h:commandButton onclick="test();" action="{#bean.menthod}">

test- javascript method returns boolean value false.

Above doesnt work. Below mentioned code alone worked. I want to know why

 <h:commandButton onclick="if(test) return true;else return false" action="{#bean.menthod}">

Thanks.. This helped me lot. Here simple logic which i missed i.e .. in that onclick function I am returning false instead of true, which is stopping the action to be called. Finally i changed return value to true, and solved my issue.

It is not working simply because the result of test() function is not returned to the component.

it should work as expected with

<h:commandButton onclick="return test()" action="{#bean.menthod}">

and this is exactly the same as your second case but simplified.

At the end of the day your h:commandButton will become a HTML Form submit button. i.e, <input type="submit" .../>

Usually form won't get submitted when the submit button returns false.
