Intercept Form Submit

[Hector]

What is the most efficient way to intercept a form submit event?
"onsubmit" in the form tag? "onclick" on the submit button? Make use
of the connect function? Something else? Additionally, I would
prefer that this method fail in a way that allowed for a normal submit
to occur if JavaScript were disabled.

connect(formElement,'onsubmit',function(e){
console.log(e); //see what's in the Signal event if you don't know
return false; //prevent form submission
});

Will returning false prevent form submission? I thought you needed to do:

function (e) {
// .. do your activities

// prevent the event from propogating
e.stop();
}

To my knowledge, returning false works in all browsers. I believe that
e.stop() will do the same thing. It's been a while since I've had to
do this so I figured I'd put in what I know to work.

I've only ever used return false with onsubmit in the form tag.

return false; doesn't do anything here, this should look like:

connect(formElement,'onsubmit',function(e){
console.log(e); // see what's in the Signal event if you don't know
e.stop(); // prevent form submission
});
