preventing form submission

Hi,

How do we prevent form submission?  I have a link that opens a new window:
<t:commandLink value="LINK"  
onclick="window.open('attachments.xhtml?commEmailID=#{communication.id}')" 
/>

My problem is, that the form that has the link gets submitted to the 
server as it opens a new link.  How do we prevent such behavior?

Thank you

-Steve

I tried "return false" and it worked.  what is weird though is that i tried

function submitThis(){
    window.open('attachments.xhtml');
    return false;
}

and it did not work. hmmmm javascript....

Let me also try t:outputLink; wait let me edit my tomahawk taglib first.

Thanks

-Steve

This is a common javascript problem: add ";return false" to your onclick 
attribute.

Use h:outputLink instead of commandLink
