How is a form submit different from submit button onClick event?

I'm not sure of the difference, but consider this:

For forms it is much bettter to use a normal button (not submit button)
with the onclick="action()" rather than using a submit button and onsubmit.

With javascript you can tell a form to be submitted with this code:

document.forms.formname.submit()

This is much more controllable than using onsubmit action.
