Forum: Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) Form submit listener not catching form.submit();

Event listener for a form being submitted is not catching an A tag
with a submit in it.

Example JS:
      $(form).observe('submit', function(e) {
        e.stop();
        // Something
      });


Example HTML:

<a href="#" onClick="myForm.submit();">Submit form</a>

Any idea how to fix this without added more js to button?

Calling aForm.submit() does not get observed by any listeners.  Observe 
will
listen to the user generated event - a button or img tag, or pressing 
return
in a text box - but not to a submit() call.  Try observing for click and
submit and stop/forward to a 3rd function that handles the logic, or 
have
both fire a user event.
