onSubmit vs onClick

Expand Post »

My script works successfully when I validate a form field using;

<input type="submit" onClick="return chkrange(this.form)"

But, when I remove the onclick from the input type and try to use

onSubmit="return chkrange(this.form)" within the <form> tag it doesn't work

Why not?

Re: onSubmit vs onClick

Change the onSubmit version to just onSubmit="return chkrange(this)" . Inside the form tag, this already refers to the form.
