BeforeEvent.submit not working on javascript form submit?
Hey,i am trying to catch the 'submit' event:
window.opera.addEventListener('BeforeEvent.submit',function(e){
// do something
}
This works properly on most web pages. BUT there are some pages, where this event is not raised/catched.
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function mySubmit() {
document.getElementById('testForm').submit();
}
</script>
<form id="testForm">
<input type="text" name="test1"/>
<input type="text" name="test2"/>
<a title="Submit" href="javascript:mySubmit();">Submit</a>
// <input type="button" onclick="javascript:mySubmit();"/>
// <input type="submit" onclick="javascript:mySubmit();"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
In this example, the 'BeforeEvent.submit' is never executed. If you replace the link by
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:mySubmit();"/>it does not work either.
With
<input type="submit" onclick="javascript:mySubmit();"/>it works fine.
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks for your help
Apparently the submit event only fires when a <input type=submit> element is clicked but not when a form's submit method is called. This post has a solution which may work.
