javascript - Different behavior of the onclick attribute during form submission -
hello came across weird behavior onclick attribute regarding form submission.
page on server:
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 strict//en" "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/dtd/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head lang="en-us" > <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>return form example</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function dosomething(){ alert("hey"); return false; } </script> </head> <body> <form action="submit.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" onclick="return dosomething()" value="click me!"> </form> </body> </html> in example, running on server, when click submit button alert saying hey , stay on current page. however, tried set same example on jsfiddle , 404 error meaning form submitted. cannot figure out why occurs.
here jsfiddle trying replicate behavior on server.

you want check option "no wrap - in <head>" "do not wrap javascript code, place in section".
select "no wrap - in <head>" under "framework , extensions"
in page you'll find description of each of options around bottom: http://doc.jsfiddle.net/basic/introduction.html.
also practice include semicolon @ end of return statement, following:
<input type="submit" onclick="return dosomething();" value="click me!">
