I am new to rails.I want to call a javascript function when click the submit button.I used submit_tag , but the function did not get triggered.I want some thing like the following ,
<%= submit_tag , :onsubmit => "return validateform()" %>
I googled the problem but I couldn't find a solution.Please any one give a solution.
try onclick
<%= submit_tag , :onclick => "return validateform();" %>
or if you want to use onsubmit you can use that in your form_tag.
You can use something like this on the form tag
<% form_for :bla, :html => { :onsubmit => 'blahblah;' } do |f| %>
You can try
<%= submit_tag , :onclick => "return validateform()" %>
OR
You can Use button_to_function
<%= button_to_function "Greeting", "validateform()" %>
And in your Javascript function, if all the validations pass, submit the form.
You would do it in the form_tag...
<%= form_tag({:action => :whatever}, {:onSubmit => 'return validateform();'} ) %>
