Hello, I couldn't find in the HTML 5 spec where it talks about the form element's onsubmit event, but previously the typical form validation was onsubmit="return validationFunction()". However, this gives a validation error: /Line 8, Column 31/: Bad value return false for attribute onsubmit on element form: invalid return | <form onsubmit="return false"*>*| What is the correct way to cancel a form submission in HTML 5? The error message is not very clear in this regard considering it's valid in previous specs and supported in modern browsers. Full example below: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="ISO-8859-1" /> <title>Form Validation Test</title> </head> <body> <form onsubmit="return false"> <input type="submit" value="Do Not Submit Me!" /> </form> </body> </html> Thank you, PaulReceived on Saturday, 22 January 2011 07:06:43 UTC
