JAVASCRIPT ONSUBMIT EVENT

The javascript onsubmit event handler is used to trigger a script or action when a form is submitted ie when the submit button is depressed. The onsubmit event calls the action from the <form> element.

Example:

<form action="#" method="post" onsubmit="alert('You are submitting a form now');">

<input type="text" ><br>

<input type="submit" value="submit" >

</form>

The above example will output You are submitting a form now when you press the submit button.

The onsubmit event can also call a function as follows:

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function submitme ()
{
alert('You are submitting a form now');
}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form action="#" method="post" onsubmit="submitme();">
<input type="text" ><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit" >
</form>

DEMO:
