onsubmit=“return false” has no effect on Internet Explorer 7/8 (form is still submitted)

Question

I have a form that will be submitted by javascript code triggered in \"onsubmit\" of the tag. Works fine on all browsers - but not on IE7/IE8.

What can I do?

The attach event method only works only for IE7/8. If you want a reliable cross browser solution you should use addEventListener as an alternative.

Hope it helps
