Onsubmit Vs Onclick

[Richey]

I have inherited an ASP script, which includes lots of fancy javascript, which I don't understand and of course, the ******* thing doesn't work
I've tried lots of things, but I'm trying to go back to basics - so can someone answer the following

if you have <form> and </form> tags - if inbetween there you have
<form onClick = &quot;return validate()&quot; method = &quot;post&quot; action = &quot;register.asp&quot;>
if I change the onClick to OnSubmit do I need to alter any other code? or will it simply call the validation at a different time?

On my ASP script I have a Java validation setup called Validate - it worked for OnClick but not for OnSubmit

definately check this out but...

You might need to make sure the button submitting the form is an actual type=submit button.

Also, I think there are differences in the way browsers handle the onSubmit event depending on whether it comes from a programmed event or an actual click event.

sorry I can't be of more help, but maybe this is a start.

Have Fun?
