Thanks,

onSubmit="return CHK_CAT_SELECT()">
BTW - the "return " thing...i've never used it myself, i always just use the function name, what is the reason for it?

I return func() in the event handler attribute so that I can then return out of func() itself also. That way I either cancel or continue the event depending on whether the function failed or worked. Other than that I don't use it either, mosty just func() or void(func()).
