h:commandLink and onsubmit

Hi,
 
I have a javascript validation onsubmit of my form. When I click the commandLink the js gets called and throws the alert for validation failure. But the form submits even when the validation fails. Could you please let me know if I am not using this correctly.
 
SCRIPT:
 
function validate(){
      if (..){
     
           }else{
       alert('Validation Error');
       return false;
    }  
    return true;
 }
 
FORM:
<h:form id="frmSave" onsubmit="return validate();">
....
     <h:commandLink action="#{mBean.save}">
          <h:outputText value="Save" styleClass="button-text"/>
    </h:commandLink>
</h:form>
 
Thanks,
Aruna

  Hi,

  I have a javascript validation onsubmit of my form. When I click the commandLink the js gets called and throws the alert for validation failure. But the form submits even when the validation fails. Could you please let me know if I am not using this correctly.

  SCRIPT:

  function validate(){
        if (..){

             }else{
         alert('Validation Error');
         return false;
      }  
      return true;
   }

  FORM:
  <h:form id="frmSave" onsubmit="return validate();">
  ....
       <h:commandLink action="#{mBean.save}">
            <h:outputText value="Save" styleClass="button-text"/>
      </h:commandLink>
  </h:form>

  Thanks,
  Aruna
