Dual Event Handlers

Using two onclick event handlers in same tag

[typomaniac]

Hi, is there any way to use 2 of the same event handler in the same tag...that is, I would like to use a submit once script and a form validation script and both call for an onclick handler in the form tag. I have server side validation as backup but javascript can take place so much faster. Also, if it is possible, will the button for the submit once script still be in effect if used this way and the script finds an error in user input? Thanks.

I apologize for the error I made when submitting....it should be onSubmit instead of onclick

You can just wrap the 2 functions that you want to execute in a third function (even a self executing anonymous one):

<form onsubmit="return function () {if (!validate()) {return false;} submitonce(); return true; }();">

or

<form onsubmit="return formOnSubmit();">

with

function formOnSubmit() {
  if (!validate()) {
    return false;
  }
  submitOnce();
  return true;
}
