Please help me...Javascript question

Question

Hi everyone,
what i am trying to do is..
EX:
TABLE: EMP
empno empname sal entered_by
1 john 1000 user1
I have a form on the table EMP.The users want to enter the same record again(because mutiple users enter the same record) but want an alert message when they hit the create button like.. Eg:
when user2 is trying to enter this data..
empno: 2 (generated by sequence)
empname: john
sal: 1000
he wants to see an alert message like: THE Record is Already exists in the database which was entered by USER1 (But he can enter the same record)
what i did is.. I have a javascript which calls the application process (PL/SQL) where it check whether the data entered is already there in the database and returns back an alert message like this:
JAVASCRIPT:
==========
<script language=javascript>
function  f_insert_record()
        var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=INSERT_RECORD',0);
        get.add('P2_EMPNAME',html_GetElement('P2_EMPNAME').value);
        get.add('P2_SAL',html_GetElement('P2_SAL').value);
        gReturn = get.get();
        var a = gReturn.split("|");
        if(gReturn)
            if (a.length > 0) {alert(a[0]);}
        else
            null;
</script>APPLICATION_PROCESS
===================
DECLARE
   l_error   VARCHAR2 (4000);
   V_NAME VARCHAR2(1000);
   V_MSPR_ID NUMBER(15);
   I NUMBER;
   V_MYNUM STRING_OBJ := STRING_OBJ();
BEGIN
  FOR C1 IN (SELECT DISTINCT entered_by ENTERED_BY_USER_NM 
from emp 
WHERE  
  empname = :P2_EMPNAME
  AND sal  = :P2_SAL
  ) LOOP
    V_MYNUM.EXTEND;
    V_MYNUM(V_MYNUM.COUNT) := C1.ENTERED_BY_USER_NM;
  END LOOP;
  V_NAME := NULL;
  l_error := NULL;
  FOR I IN V_MYNUM.FIRST..V_MYNUM.LAST LOOP
    --dbms_output.put_line(V_MYNUM(I));
    V_NAME := V_NAME || '   ' || V_MYNUM(I);
  END LOOP;
  IF V_NAME IS NOT NULL THEN
    l_error := 'The record already exists in the database which was created by '||V_NAME;
  END IF; 
  HTP.PRN(l_error);
END;everything works fine...when i have a ONBLUR event on the SALARY field.
But i want the same thing to be achieved with the ONCLICK event on the CREATE button (Template based button).
The code i have shown over here is just an example...But the requirement is the same..Multiple Users can enter the same record but they want to see an alert message like this record was entered by USER1,USER2.
The only think i am not able to figure out is the ONCLICK event on that create button.
I tried like this Target: URL
javaScript:(f_insert_record();doSubmit('CREATE');)
I am not getting the alert message.
Please help me to solve this
thanks
