Uwe, If you formally submit a form, it's going to load the action page. If you want to take those form values and do something with them first, create a function that plays with the values, then submits the form via 'document.formName.submit();'.
If you use type="submit" the onClick will execute first then the page will be submitted. So you wouldn't want to use it to run a validation function, because regardless of what it returns, it will still submit.

But I want to pass values to a action script. So is there a way to only let the form submit parameters if the onclick-routine is passed ? Thanks for ideas.
