onsubmit occurs when a submit button is clicked. That's just a normal button.

Dormilich

a further note: "onsubmit" and "onSubmit" is not the same in XHTML. for events it is best to use only lower case attributes. (and IE can't properly handle XHTML)

Ferris

you can use HTML submit element to post the form.

change

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<input type=button value=submit onclick="this.form.submit()" />

into

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<input type="submit" value="submit" />

But Acoder i am submitting the form then why it shouldn't work ?

The submit method does not invoke the onsubmit event handler. Call the onsubmit event handler directly.

      <form onSubmit="return validate();">

      <input type=button value=submit onclick="this.form.onsubmit();"/>

      </form>

I'll repeat what I said again highlighting the important points:

onsubmit occurs when a submit button is clicked. That's just a normal button. Calling the submit() method is not the same as clicking the submit button.
