You need to ask this in a javascript forum. It's a client side problem
- ASP is purely server side.

/P.

function validateform (){
//do a lot validation here, if validation failes, return false;
//finaly this line
if (!isSubmitted)
isSubmitted=true;
return true;
else
return false;
}
</script>

<form name="abc" action="any other apge" onsubmit = "return validateform();">
<input type="submit" name="save" id="save">

=== Do not forget the {}

....
if (!isSubmitted) {
isSubmitted=true;
return true;
}
else
return false;
....

=== why use "else":

....
if (!isSubmitted) {
isSubmitted=true;
return true;
}
return false;
....

=== why use an "if":

....
var x = isSubmitted
isSubmitted = true
return !x
....
