Javascript conditional check

Question

Hi,
See Javascript below.
I'm trying to pop-up a warning message window conditionally if P410_BOARD_GROUP_TYPE_ID = 6 and the user selects a different value in the Select List. It seems ilke I am either A) passing in the value of P410_BOARD_GROUP_TYPE_ID incorrectly, or B) choosing the wrong type of event handler. Can someone spot where I'm going wrong? It's as though the function isn't even being calling on my page when I run it.
<b>In the HTML Form Element Attributes box for P410_EMULATION:</b>
onSelect=beware('P410_BOARD_GROUP_TYPE_ID');
<b>In the HTML Header:</b>
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function beware()
if(html_Element('P410_BOARD_GROUP_TYPE_ID')=6)
      {(!(confirm('Warning!  This will change all Timers to default values.  Continue?')))}
      {html_GetElement('P410_EMULATION').focus()}
</script>

Hello,
First you didn't make all the changes that were suggested before
this
&lt;script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function beware()
if(html_GetElement('P3_BOARD_GROUP_TYPE_ID')==6)
{(!(confirm('Warning!  This will change all Timers to default values.  Continue?')))}
{html_GetElement('P3_EMULATION').focus()}
&lt;/script
still wouldn't work anyway
now what you need to do is either supress or allow doSubmit in your javascript.
So first change the select to a regular select so the proper onchange is applied
Second use this javascript
&lt;script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function beware(){
if(html_SelectValue('P3_BOARD_GROUP_TYPE_ID')==6){
var answer = confirm('Warning! This will change all Timers to default values. Continue?');
if(answer){doSubmit()}
else{html_GetElement('P3_EMULATION').focus()}
&lt;/script>
You should take a quick run through this javascript tutorial http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_intro.asp and hour or two spent here is going to save you countless hours later and allow you to build more adavced (and working) functionality.
