I just read this up in a JS book. The submit button has actually 2 events happening sequentially. The first one is an onClick and the second one an onSubmit. Both can return false and stop the execution of the action. If onClick returns false onSubmit will not be executed. I guess you could control your flow of execution based on what area of the page has the focus and only submit the form when you're really done and switch focus to the next area of your page based on where you are when the submit button is pressed.
