Hello,
I have a form with two buttons - [1] Create [2] Cancel. By default if a
user
clicks on any of them, the form gets submitted. However, I dont want to
do
that. I want to call a javascript function on cancel and form submit (as
usual) on create. How can this be achieved?

Thanks,
Jaikishan

Well where do you want the cancel button to go ? reset the form and
back to the new task? or some other page?
Just use a link\_to or button\_to for the cancel button… Don’t make it
part of the form…

So why is ‘Cancel’ a submit button? Make it a reset button and attach
your handler to it.
