Getting value from form without using onSubmit

Question

Hello I'm wondering if there is an alternative way to run JavaScript when a button is submitted without using the onsubmit event. Thx

If your intention is to get the value and not to submit the form , then you can use the sumit listener and return before the form is submitted — hop, Apr 03 '13 at 18:36

Yeah, give the button an ID, and utilize jQuery like this:

$("#target").click(function() {
  alert("Handler for .click() called.");
});

You should use Google the next time more wisely. This is an easy one...
