Abort save action using client script

[santoshk]

Hi,

I have created a onSubmit script to validate a field and i want to abort the saving the form if the validation fails. But i am not able to do it using client script. what i am doing is, pop up a error message if validation fails, but as soon as i click on the ok button, it proceed and form saved. Can some one suggest a better way to do that?

Thanks in advance,

Santosh Kumar

Can you share your script?   You should be able to cancel the submission by returning false in the onSubmit function.   Take a look at this wiki article - Client Scripts - ServiceNow Wiki
