In the button's onclick handler, execution of 'form.submit()' does not result into a full page refresh. I observed this using Firebug.
But the same onclick handler if I attach to an anchor, form.submit()'s execution will result into a full page refresh.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
HTML Testcase
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Form Submit test case </TITLE>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doSubmit()
{
alert("First Alert");
document.forms[0].submit();
alert("Second Alert");
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form>
<a id="anchor" onclick="doSubmit()" href="#">anchor</a>
<button id="button" onclick="doSubmit()">button</button>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Actual Results:
click on 'button' :
1. 'First Alert' comes up
2. 'Second Alert' comes up.
3. Full page refresh happens
click on 'anchor'
1. 'First Alert' comes up
2. Full page refresh happens
3. 'Second Alert' comes up.
Expected Results:
clicking on both 'anchor' & 'button' should result Full page refresh to happen in between the alerts.
If 'document.forms[0].action = document.forms[0].action' is placed after 'document.forms.submit()' in the doSubmit() method, then clicking 'anchor' & 'button' result in the correct behavior.

Hmm, or maybe not. But <a onclick> and <button onclick> seem to work similarly now.

please enable the status bar to see the difference. clicking on the 'anchor', results in the following order as expected. 1. Shows 'First Alert' 2. Page refresh in the status bar 3. Shows 'Second Alert' But clicking on the button throws the 'First Alert' , then 'Second Alert' and then 'Page refresh in the status bar'.
If I modify the doSubmit method by placing an extra line
'document.forms[0].action = document.forms[0].action', then click on anchor & link result in the same behavior.
function doSubmit()
{
alert("First Alert");
document.forms[0].submit();
document.forms[0].action = document.forms[0].action;
alert("Second Alert");
}
