An exception is the case where you want a page that works both with and without Javascript enabled: the <input type="submit"> allows the form to submit in the standard way when no Javascript is present, but allows the (presumably mind-blowingly fantastic) Javascript alternative to run when appropriate. You can't get this behavior from type="button". > I suspect that by specifying both, you may be generating 2 actions and > confusing the browser and/or the receiving end. The "return false;" at the end of the trigger indicates that the event handler will (duh) return false. When that happens, the browser is supposed to basically drop the event and not send it to the "default" handler, which would result in the form being submitted in the traditional way. This is actually a pretty standard Javascript implementation. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvMyiUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBb9wCeJZcEXufKdj7RG6MhAz8eIG0p o3gAoMCjAaMOmzhjs2q8mzlZiwSs7Yx/ =1Z8E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
