98186 - change event should be fired before submit event

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 99350

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

From an email:

onchange vs. onsubmit. If you change an input in a form and then
submit, the onchange event should fire before the onsubmit does. This
gives you a chance to validate the data before it is exported. In this
sample, onsubmit fires first, which is wrong.

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Test 1</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<form onsubmit="alert('submit');return false;">
<input type="text" name="a" onchange="alert('onchange');return true;">
Submit <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>

NS4 and IE5.5 do the onchange first. NS6.1 does the onsubmit first.
