Remarks

You can override this event by returning false in the event handler. Use this capability to validate data on the client side to prevent invalid data from being submitted to the server.

The IHTMLFormElement::submit method does not invoke the HTMLElementEvents4::onsubmit event handler.

Causes a form to be sent to whatever location is stipulated in the IHTMLFormElement4::action attribute of the form object.
