I have an Angular / Bootstrap form with a button type=submit and a plain button to cancel - and hide the form. When I click on the cancel, it calls the cancel event handler and then it calls the submit handler. ?? Here's the code as if have it in Plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/Nsqy4DuVaoI04VObS2Zd?p=preview
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Example - example-example33-production</title>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.0-beta.14/angular.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="submitExample">
<script>
angular.module('submitExample', [])
.controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.list = [];
$scope.text = 'hello';
$scope.cancel = function(){
alert('cancelling');
}
$scope.submitNewAccountForm = function(isValid){
alert('in submit');
}
}]);
</script>
<form ng-controller="ExampleController" name="newAccountForm" ng-submit="submitNewAccountForm(newAccountForm.$valid)" class="form-horizontal" novalidate>
<fieldset>
<!-- Form Name -->
<legend>Account</legend>
<!-- Text input-->
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="name">Account name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input ng-model="name" id="name" name="name" type="text" placeholder="account" class="input-medium" required="">
<p class="help-block">Required.</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Select Basic -->
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="type">Account type</label>
<div class="controls">
<select ng-model="type" id="type" name="type" class="input-medium">
<option>client</option>
<option>provider</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Button (Double) -->
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="cancelaccountadd"></label>
<div class="controls">
<button type="submit" id="doaccountadd" name="doaccountadd" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
<button ng-click="cancel()" id="cancelaccountadd" name="cancelaccountadd" class="btn btn-danger">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
On button elements, submit is the default type attribute. change that to type="button" and it will no longer call the submit event.
