1. I attach eventListener to listen for form submition.
2. I one click the submit button, the event is catched .
3. If i click on link that submits the form like this :
onclick=document.getElementById('frm_id').submit() then the event is not catched, thisway skipping validation.



Reproducible: Always




The code :
validator = new Validator(form_id');
validator.addRequired('RegionID','LabelRegionID')
Event.observ('form_id','submit',
	function(e){
		validator.validate(e)
	}
,false);

The observer :

var Event = new Object();
Event.observ = function(element, name, observer, useCapture)
{
	var element = document.getElementById(element);
	if (element.addEventListener) {
		element.addEventListener(name, observer, useCapture);
	} else if (element.attachEvent) {
		element.attachEvent('on' + name, observer);
	}
	
}
