Is there any way to do the following:

validateLogin();

return false;

But actually like this..

validateLogin();

And here is the function:

function validateLogin(){

if(hi=true){

return true;

}

else{

return false

}

I want to attach this function for the event of a form being submitted, so if HI is false - i want to return false; meaning it will stop for form from submitting.. i know return false; will do so i just need to know how i can get this return back to the parent function?

Thanks in advance!
