If you do not want to use ajax, you cannot reliably call something after the submit - the form's processing is done. You must use ajax if you want a response.
If you want to call your function BEFORE your form submit - again.. you MUST use some form of ajax.
See How do I capture response of form.submit
If you really need control of events like this - you need ajax or iframe hacks. Sorry : )
