vs document.getElementById('tbodyForm').submit()

["F. Da Costa" <da...@xs4all.nl>]

Hi,

This is a question re. submitting a form via a js call or directly via a 
submit button (either in or outside of the form)

The form def.
<form jwcid="@Form" id="tbodyForm" listener="ognl:listeners.formEditSubmit">

The button def (could be anywhere on the page)
<button onClick="document.getElementById('tbodyForm').submit();">Store</button>

The following should be contained within the form tags
.html
<input type="submit" value="Remove" jwcid="editSubmit" /><br />
.page
<component id="editSubmit" type="Submit">
  <binding name="listener" expression="listeners.formEditSubmit"/>
  <static-binding name="label" value="Store modified data/ full submit"/>
</component>


Shouldn't the two methods be equal in dealing with the submit?
The reason for using the <button> variant lies in the fact that I do not 
have a good location on my page (in the middle of a table) for the <input> 
version with a type=submit.

TIA
Fermin DCG

In my experience, when explicitly submitting a form via javascript, the 
onsubmit handler of the form is not triggered.  This probably varies 
depending on browser.
