Is there a term for this

Is there a term for a form submission that's been disabled and redirected by javascript as in an element that contains something like this?

onclick="addBop(this); return false;"

I don't think there's a term for it. It's just something you can do. That should be "onsubmit", not "onclick" and it needs to be on the <form> element.

Actually, I'm using a button inside my form instead of an input. I put the onclick in the button and it checks out in ff, ie, s, c, o and validates with a transitional doctype, but not under strict. When I changed onclick to onsubmit and moved it to the form tag, JS failed, but I didn't try to debug.
