How to Prevent Buttons from Submitting Forms

Stop button from submitting form

The solution was to set the CausesValidation attribute to false on the button.

<button type="button" runat="server" ID="Button1" class="btn btn-primary" OnServerClick="Button1_Click" CausesValidation="False">Accept Changes</button>

Keep button from submitting form Javascript

Since you're not using a type="submit" the only reason your form would submit anything is because you're literally calling the submit() method when the button is clicked. (well, sort of. It's actually form.submit() - the method you created is window.submit()).

By default, an input of type="button" will not do a form submission unless you literally call form.submit()

Prevent submit button from submitting all forms on page?

Quick fix: Change the button type so that it's just a normal button instead of a submit button.
Then create a function which takes the form id as an argument and submits that form.

But really both forms should not be being submitted at the same time anyway. Is there anything in your code that you haven't shown us which explains why they might be linked in this way? Ar ethey nested or in a table for example?

Disable form auto submit on button click

Buttons like <button>Click to do something</button> are submit buttons.

Set type="button" to change that. type="submit" is the default (as specified by the HTML spec):

The missing value default and invalid value default are the Submit Button state.

Prevent users from submitting a form by hitting Enter

You can use a method such as

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(window).keydown(function(event){
    if(event.keyCode == 13) {
      event.preventDefault();
      return false;
    }
  });
});

In reading the comments on the original post, to make it more usable and allow people to press Enter if they have completed all the fields:

function validationFunction() {
  $('input').each(function() {
    ...

  }
  if(good) {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

$(document).ready(function() {
  $(window).keydown(function(event){
    if( (event.keyCode == 13) && (validationFunction() == false) ) {
      event.preventDefault();
      return false;
    }
  });
});

How to prevent form submitting on other button is clicked rather than submit button in JavaScript

add type="button" attribute in your close button tag, without specifying this type attribute, browser consider every button as submit button by default in the form element.

your close button element should look like this:

<button type="button">close</button>

How to stop button inside form tags from submitting data

You can do easily, just include event.preventDefault() in your js code.

event.preventDefault() actually used to prevent(stop) any default event.

function inc(element) {
  event.preventDefault();
  let el = document.querySelector(`[name="${element}"]`);
  el.value = parseInt(el.value) + 1;
}

function dec(element) {
 event.preventDefault();
 let el = document.querySelector(`[name="${element}"]`);
  if (parseInt(el.value) > 0) {
    el.value = parseInt(el.value) - 1;
  }
}

But in case you don't want to use js, you can change buttons default type.
Button's default type is submit which will submit the form. You can use type="button"
