JavaScript form submission does not go to Button.onSubmit() method

[Nishant Neeraj <ni...@gmail.com>]

I have a form which has a button. The processing code after submission is
written in Button.onSubmit() and Form.onSubmit() is not overridden. Now,
when I add a JavaScript confirmation asking if the user is ready to submit
the form. The JavaScript performs $('#formId').submit(). The form submission
does not take place. (page refreshes but no submission)

On debugging, I realized that  if I perform JavaScript form submission
(using  $('#formId').submit()) -- the control never goes to
Button.onSubmit(), rather it goes to only to Form.onSubmit(). So, my page
just reloads.

Is there a work-around so that if I perform $('#formId').submit() on
front-end -- the submit button's onSubmit() get called?

I would be reluctant to move code from Button.onSubmit() to Form.onSubmit()
because I have many forms where submission logic is written in
Button.onSubmit() and I may need to change those as well.

I am currently trying to simulate JavaScript's confirm behavior for button,
so that Button.onSubmit() get's the control when confirms the dialog. It's
