Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Stop page processing after alert

In some browsers, when I have an alert popup on an action, once the user hits "OK", the page reloads itself.
Is there a way to just have the page Stop after the "OK" button is hit and the alert is cleared? To have it discontinue processing anything further, and not reload itself?
Is this a page you are creating or pages in general?

A page I am building. It works in IE but not in Safari.

By an "action", do you mean a form event handler? If so, the form may be submitting, causing the page to reload. To prevent it, use "return false" in your form's onsubmit event handler.

Okay, it is fixed.
This is what I am doing now:
<a href="" onclick="check();return false;">
<input type="Button" value="Submit" border="0"></a>
The problem was that I didn't have the "return false;" after "check();"
Thanks.
