Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Rotem Liss]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I use <form onSubmit=''>, it doesn't fired when I click the submit
button, or click a button does document.getElementById("submit").submit(). It
just doesn't work!

(By the way, there is a workaround – using onClick event of the submit button –
but what about submission by clicking Enter in one the form fields? It doesn't
handel this submission.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the testcase I will upload soon.
2. Try to click the submit button. Click OK in the alert() message/s.
Actual Results:  
There onClick event of the submit button is fired, and there is an alert()
message; now the form is submitted, with no other message.

Expected Results:  
As in IE and Opera: the onClick event of the submit button is fired, and there
is an alert() message of it – but now the event onSubmit of the form is fired,
and shows another alert() message; now the form is not submitted, for there is
the expression "return false();" in the onSubmit event.

Well, it happens only in file:/// protocol. The summary has been updated… You
should download the testcase for seeing it.

Did you download the file?

By the way, it also doesn't work in my local server (IIS) - but only in Firefox,
in Seamonkey it works fine in all the places. It seems to doesn't work in my
local computer, not only in file:/// protocol.

It wasn't Mozilla; it didn't work for me, because of the extension Always
Remember Password was installed. Marked Resolved Invalid.
