Why onclick doesn't work on submit button ?

[reboltutorial]

Sorry it's a long time I programmed in Js, I come back to it now for my hobby site. I added a submit button with an onclick event and an alert message to say it doesn't work yet, but if I push the button, it isn't taken into account and the form is submitted to the cgi.

What's wrong ?

<input id="saveForm" class="button_text" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="alert('Sorry, it's not working yet!');return false;" >

Somewhere in your JS you will need something like:

document.forms[X].onsubmit = validateBeforeSubmit;

where "X" indicates the form where the submit button is located and "validateBeforeSubmit" is a function you create.

If validateBeforeSubmit returns "true" then the submit function will be treated normally. If it returns "false" it won't.

That should do it...
