Form submitted using submit() from a link cannot be caught by onsubmit handler

Question

Surprised, I am encountering this weird issue while submitting form from JS.

Issue:

Consider a simple form submitted using two ways from a submit

Answer 1

Thats how form.submit behaves;

The form's onsubmit event handler (for example, onsubmit="return false;") will not be triggered when invoking this method from Gecko-based applications. In general, it is not guaranteed to be invoked by HTML user agents

Make onsubmit call a function and simply call that onclick as well.
