Why does form still submit when you have javascript disabled?

Question

It appears that a form will still submit even when you have javascript completely disabled. I thought that it takes javascript for it to work... the onClick() or onSubmit() function fires which triggers the GET/POST request.

Answer 1

That's correct. That means your browser manually sends the GET/POST request (without the event listeners firing). A lot of websites still have submit buttons for this very reason (i.e. a fallback).

You could remove the submit button, if you don't want users submitting the form.

Answer 2

No , the submit action is triggered by <input type="submit"> (Actually a button) Which is html processing command. Additionally you can submit the form by using button input type but rased a javascript function to submit a form. In the second case if the javascript is disabled , it isn't going to submit the form for you.

Lastly: onclick,onfocus,onblur etc. events and anything inside are javascript. Mostly Other than that is not associate with javascript.
