Html_quickform

Hi. Im trying to use the button element type as my submit (not the submit element type). However, when I submit the form the validation does not work. It seems like the onsubmit is not being called. If i switch the element type to submit, it works fine. Anyone have any ideas form me?

Are you talking about client-side validation? It works only with submit buttons. If you want to use buttons, you must call the validation function yourself in an onclick event on your button.
