[VE][108] Error Message Feedback from Ray Mullan on 2004-10-27 (www-validator@w3.org from October 2004)

I need to use the onsubmit attribute in the submit button for a form 
becauseOpera will overide the validation script  when either the return 
or enter button is pressed and proceeds to submit the form -- regardless 
of where the user's focus might be. If I use a redundant event such as 
onkeypress instead, Opera won't try to submit the form but the user is 
very annoyingly alerted  twice (once for onclick and once for onkeypress).

<input type="button" id="SendDonation" value="&#x00A0;Send&#x00A0;" 
onclick="errorCheckDonation()" onsubmit="errorCheckDonation()" />

However, the website is written in XHTML 1.1 and the validator won't 
accept onsubmit as an attribute. Is there an alternative to onsubmit 
which is acceptable in XHTML?

yours,

Ray Mullan
