ASP.NET - C#: Button not submitting form which has onsubmit attribute

[pechar]

Hi all,

I'm absolutely lost and have no idea why this is happening.
I have a master page where the form resides. I set an onsubmit attribute to call a method which sets a variable to true

<form id="form1" runat="server" onsubmit="setVariable();">
 
the function I call is :
 
function setVariable()
{
    aVariable= true;// aVariable is a global var in the js file
}

When I use buttons which have the UseSubmitBehavior property set to true (which is true by default) the form will not submit. I need these buttons to be using submit behaviour.
The serverside events of button click are not being called.

When I remove the onsubmit attribute all works fine.

Can anyone help
Thanks
Luk

ASP.NET uses it's own method and automatically sets the forum to call their generated function; therefore, when you set the forum's onsubmit attribute things don't work. I remember trying this not to long ago and just figured that this is not allowed (a bug).

I ended up setting my button's clientClick to call the function instead of using the onsubmit.

If you find out how to get around this, let us know. Otherwise, I suggest using the clientclick work-around.
