Eeep! Rule of thumb, if you're using eval, then you're probably doing 
something wrong.

    if (document.mylist.propID[i].checked) == true)

That isn't a submit button, nor is it an onsubmit event.

<form ... onsubmit="return someFunction()">
   <input type="submit">
</form>

function someFunction() {
	if (doNotSendFormCondition) {
		return false;
	} else {
		return true;
	}
}
