Execute a Javascript Function Upon Submitting a Spring Form

Question

I have a JS function that I want to run (call an asynchronous JMS queue function) upon submitting.

Can someone point me to an example of how to do that from inside a Spring form? I know how to do a $(document).ready(function(), but I only want to do this when POSTing a form submission.

I should add that I tried the onSubmit(), but that doesn't appear to fire inside a Spring form. — EdgeCase

Can you include the code you've tried? Or, can you create a jsFiddle example of your problem? — mawcsco

Attaching a submit handler with jQuery:

HTML:

<form id="form1" action="#" method="POST">
   <input type="text" name="field1" />
   <input type="submit" />
</form>

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#form1').submit(function() {
    alert('Handler for .submit() called.');
  });
});

Regarding your use of Spring, the Spring form tag will generate a usual HTML form. You can specify an id (or class) for it and attach a handler with jQuery. Link to an example: http://jsfiddle.net/kolchytsky/Wy47g/
