The onsubmit event attribute in HTML is triggered when a form is submitted. It is basically triggered when a form is submitted, either by clicking a submit button or using JavaScript.
It is also useful for validating form data or performing actions before any submission and ensures better control and validation of user inputs before data is sent.
Syntax:<form onsubmit = "script">Supported Tags:
