onsubmit replace string text by

[ijyoung]

Want to change text formatting in textarea with an onsubmit.

I have the script working with the onchange command as follows:

[HTML]<form action="message.php" method="post">
<table align="center" border="0" width="70%">
<tr><td width="30%">Subject:</td>
<td width="70%"><input type="text" name="subject" size="25" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>Message:</td>
<td>
<textarea rows="8" name="message" cols="40" onchange="message1=this.value;message1=replace1(me ssage1);message.value=message1"> </textarea>

</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
<div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="New E-Mail" class="buttonSubmit" /></div>
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />
</td></tr>

</table>
</form>
[/HTML]
So how do we do this with onsubmit ?(the results of the changes are submitted to a MySQl db.

Have you tried just putting the same code in the onsubmit handler of the form ?

[ijyoung]

Yes.

but changed onchange for onsubmit.

And what happened? Why didn't it work?

[acoder]

onsubmit is a form event, not a textarea, so it should be attached to the form tag.
