onSubmit event on a button element will it work? [closed]

Answer 1

Your onsubmit should be applied to the form as it's the form that gets submitted - not the button.

From the HTML4 specification:

The onsubmit event occurs when a form is submitted. It only applies to the FORM element.

Answer 2

I think this is not possible.

You should hook into onclick event of submit. A Form can have onsubmit event but a button cannot have the onsubmit.

You should do like this:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="login" onclick="call();">

Answer 3

Actually "onsubmit" is an event of form element. If you want to catch form submit event (which can be done by clicking button, automatically or by pressing enter, you need to do:

<form ... onsubmit="func();">

otherwise you can catch only submit button click event like:

<input type="submit" ... onclick="func();">
