If you don't put the function into your <FORM> tag then it will return false, but still submit.

I found this pretty nice cc validation script out on the net ... but I had to make some modifications to it. I'm having a weird problem with it, however. Here is the relevant function: function validCCForm(ccTypeField,ccNumField) { var result = isValidCreditCardNumber(ccNumField,ccTypeField.value,"Credit Card Number",true); if (result == true){ return true; } else { return false; } The final function of a rather complex script. Now to my way of thinking, if it returns false, it means the script isn't valid; in fact the proper alert pops up. But then the form submits anyway. Now I thought if a return was false, the form wouldn't submit. But this keeps submitting. Here's the event handler: onClick="validCCForm(this.form.ccType,this.form.ccNum);" If you need to see the whole script, let me know and I'll send it to you directly.
