simulate form submit (why does it reload the page?)

best123456

In short:

Execute this js script on https://skribbl.io (via your browser console)

Problem: it "switches"/reloads the page after successfully joining

Who can change the code so the switching/reloading does not appear?


Even easier code:
Also reloads the page... And simply clicking manually or pressing enter does not lead to a page reload. Weird...

well - the question is more - what are you trying to achieve. to prevent the default submit behaviour you can use:

event.preventDefault()

but in this case the form wont be submitted - thus making it obsolet to even fire a submit-event. so as i said - some more information and may be posting the html-form would be helpful for a useful answer. if the form has a real submit button it will reload - its easy to see in chrome's dev-tools - so i doubt that the submit from the submit button behaves different from the programmatic submit. this can only happen if there is other code that might cause this or its not a real submit button.
