JS Check Form before submit

Question

I have the following form:

<form onsubmit="return testform(tolowanswers,emptyAnswers);" class="edit_question" id="edit_question"

I check the Form before submit with the function testform, Is there a possibility to run a second function after testform()

thanks

One easy solution could to call the function like

return testform(tolowanswers,emptyAnswers) && secondmethod();

this will call the second function if testform returns true.

Another solution could to use another function like

onsubmit="return myfunction();"

then

function myfunction() { if (testfunction()) { secondfunction(); } else { return false; } }

You just have to put those two functions inside the onsubmit event itself like below

"return (testform(tolowanswers,emptyAnswers) && secondFn())"

It will check if the first function is true and only if it returns true, then the secondFn will be executed.

Another way would be to invoke secondFn() inside testForm function after all validation.
