Especially with the popup window example. Some proxy server scripts strip out calls even to requested popups, making the return false method fail. I wrote a little bit about this, and gave an example script in the following page's "Verify New Window" section. <http://cookiecrook.com/AIR/2003/train/jsexamples.php> Although I can't think of a similar accessibility problem with form submissions, it seems to be a smarter solution to use return values to cancel or approve the default action of markup elements. Ditto on the DOM comment instead of the document.werite method. Cheers, James -- http://cookiecrook.com/
