Which one is appropriate? Form "onsubmit"in HTML?-CodePudding

I'm quite new at JS. I'm not exactly getting what's the difference between <form onsubmit="return func()"> and <form onsubmit="func()"> . Both the cases are doing the same thing. What is the job of return & when do we need that?

Here is more explanation on the issue.

TL;DR: If you use return and func() returns false, the form will not be submitted. Without return, it will run the function and submit the form regardless of the return value of func().

CodePudding user response：

You are better off to have something like this

<form id="submit-btn">

Then for the javascript

document.getElementById("submit-btn").addEventListener("click", func);

function func() {
//Stuff Here
}

It is just cleaner, but as for your question. Really they do perform the same thing. It just depends if the output of your function is a boolean value (true or false) if you type return func() and it is a false value then the form will not submit. If you type func() then no matter the output the form will be submitted.
