If the function check() returns false the form does not submit.

[B]You can also use disabled="true" for a button. [/B][/QUOTE]

That's how you set something to diabled with JavaScript. With HTML it is different and with XHTML it is different again. But often it is a bad to have your button disabled by default. People without JavaScript will not be able to use it.

If you do want the button to default to disabled then you could use HTML:

[font=monospace]<button disabled>Foo</button>[/font]

or in XHTML:

[font=monospace]<button disabled="disabled">Foo</button>[/font]

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-BUTTON .
