Hello all,
I can't get the function to work.
Here is the function:

function Validation()
{
if (confirm("Sending an email?\n\nIf you wish to proceed click on <OK>; If not, click on <CANCEL> to abort"))
{
alert("true");
return true;
}
else
{
alert("false");
return false;
}
}

and here is the form:

<form method="POST" action="https://www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/redirect.pl">
<p align="right"><font size="2" face="Arial">
<select size="1" name="leave" onSubmit="return Validation();">
<option value="https://www.myserver.com/sendmail.php3?option=<?php echo "option1" ?></option>
<option value="https://www.myserver.com/sendmail.php3?option=<?php echo "option2" ?></option>
<option value="https://www.myserver.com/sendmail.php3?option=<?php echo "option3" ?></option>
</select></font></td>
<td><p align="left"><input type="submit" value="MailIt" name="mail"></p></td>
</form>

Any ideas?

The onSubmit attribute should be in the FORM tag, not the SELECT tag.

worked for me too, just have to change where your onselect is located as algorithm specified.
