function t() not function () in 2nd line (still works though)
Hi
If you just want a button to call a function and not to submit the form, then you can just use input type ="button" instead of input type ="submit". If you however would like to submit through the function and can use form_name.submit();
EXAMPLE:
**************************
<script language ="javascript">
function some_func()
{
alert ("Some function");
//form1.submit(); //this submits the form
}
</script>
<form name="form1" action="" method ="post">
<input type = "button" name = "btn1" value = "click button">
</form>

why the B?
<form action="http://google.com/search" onsubmit="alert('hello world');return false">
<input type='text' name=q>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
