Hi,

onclick and onsumbit both are events. we all know about this.

In basic onsumbit invokes when user clicks on input element type "submit"

same as onclick invokes when user clicks an element which can holds onclick event.

input type sumbit only can post data to server.

But in asp onclick event works as submit event.It has some work in browser.

you can see in source code after page loading in browser.

all placed asp buttons are rendered to input type sumbit.

In server side sumbit request checks which control raises postback in eventargument

or request.params.allkeys[2]

I hope you understood What I said

All the Best

Basic difference:

onclick: Script/function/method to be run on a mouse click.

onsubmit: Script/function/method to be run when a form is submitted.

hope it helps :)

Solution 4

onsubmit is triggered whenever the form is about to be submitted.
onclick is triggered when the specific button is clicked.
