Running a function after submitting form.

So I have a pretty simple question that is making me kind of confused.I have an HTML form setup and my goal is to generate a table from the data that is submitted by the form. Right now I have a validation function that is run "onsubmit". It checks all of the fields in the form and makes sure they are correct. What I don't understand is what do I do now that the form is validated. How do I run the function that actually does the stuff I want to do?Thank you

You can either create the table using JavaScript, on the fly, but if you want your data to be persistent, you'll have to use a server-side language.http://w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_table.asp
I do want to create it on the fly. What I don't understand is since "onsubmit" is being taken up by the validation function how do I call the function that creates the table?

Just have another function that calls both:

function do_submit(form) {	validate(form);	generate_table(form);	return false;}

<form onsubmit="return do_submit(this)"></form>
