doble onsubmit methods 1

[WebRic]

Is it possible to run two consecutive onsubmit methods on a form?

Would sopmething like this be OK?

<form name="register" action="register.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="return something(this);return othersomething(this)">

Thanks,

R

[1] If there are _no_ material side-effect scripted into the functions, you can do this.
[tt]
<form name="register" action="register.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="return something(this) && othersomething(this)">
[/tt]
[2] If there are material side-side scripted into them and you don't want to miss them, you can do this.
[tt]
<form name="register" action="register.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="var x=something(this); var y=othersomething(this); return x && y;">[/tt]

I'd suggest something like:

return (something(this) && othersomething(this));">

That way if one return value was false, the expression would return false, and both would have to return true for the form to be submitted.

[2-correction] My posting is incorrect. I would rather suggest this if the premises there are valid. (If there are alerts inside, then it would be annoying. It still not seems perfect. Maybe it is over-worked. Keep it simple then use [1])
[tt]
<form name="register" action="register.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="return something(this)&&othersomething(this) || othersomething(this)&&something(this)">
[/tt]

Got me again, tsuji!

Lee, I still do not get the point in [2] I want to convey properly. Maybe I would go with a version not in-line like the above. It would then be free from undesirable effect as mention. Sorry!

[2-bis]
[tt]<form name="register" action="register.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="return combined(this)">
[/tt]
with the function combined(obj) defined apart.
[tt]
function combined(obj) {
var x=something(obj);
var y=othersomething(obj);
return x && y;
}
[/tt]

I agree that if the onsubmit handler is more complex than a couple of return values, it would be best handled in a separate function like you showed. I personally would use a separate function if making more than one evaluation, as your example shows. That would make things easier to read and separate the programming from the HTML code better.
