Shown below is the sample html.
If you click on the button labelled "submit" then the onSubmit event gets fired.
However, if you click on the button labelled "click" the onSubmit event doesn't fire.
As per the w3c spec the submit method is supposed to perform the same action as the submit button.

I would think this involves firing the associated event handlers as well.
Quite a bit of our code broke because of this and it took a while to figure this one out :).
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script>
function submitIt()
{
document.test.submit();
}
function callMe()
{
alert("I got called");
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name="test" action="http://www.google.com" method="get" onSubmit="callMe();">
<input type="button" onClick="submitIt()" value="click" />
<input name="submitform" type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just try out the code in the details in firefox
Actual Results:
The onsubmit event doesn't fire
Expected Results:
The onsubmit event should fire
