a little question about on the sequence of actions done by a servlet

[kulangotski]

hi thanks for reading.

I just would like to know what executes when you have an html button inside a form.?
and this is how my button is written

<input type = "submit" onClick="jScriptMethod()" value="Edit">

this piece of button is inside a form. and the container form has an action point to a servlet. now my question is, because there is an onclick action too here. what triggers first?

when I click a button, does it do the onclick method first? or does it submit the form data straight to the servlet? thanks!

all answers would be appreciated, thank you :D

Not actually a Java question, but...the onClick fires first. It's often used to validate a form prior to actually submitting.

First your onClick="jScriptMethod()" will be called and then form will be submitted.

Are you just going to repeat answers already given...in old threads?

Anyone would think you were simply trying to get your post count up...

onclick is fired first then servlet action

Why are you answering questions that have already been answered?
