Hi! I'm a newbie in silverstripe and I would just like to ask if how can i add an attribute in a form? For example i want to add onsubmit=''return false;" and class="myClass". Here is the function that I'm using:

public function NewsletterForm() {
$fields = new FieldSet(
new EmailField('Email','')
);

$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('NewsletterSubmit', 'Ok!')
);

$validator = new RequiredFields('Email','onsubmit');
return new Form($this, 'NewsletterSubmit', $fields, $actions,$validator);
}

/**
* Inserts a submitted email to database
* @param <type> $form
*/
public function NewsletterSubmit($form) {
$newsletter = new Newsletter();
$newsletter->Email=$_POST['Email'];
$newsletter->write();
return Director::redirectBack();

//Director::redirect(Director::currentURLSegment()."?msg=Thank+you+for+signing+up!");
}

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

hello?is there anyone who knows the answer to my simple question?

it's like having this in form tag:

<form name="frmName" method="post" action="home/newsletterSubmit" class="myClass" onsubmit="return false;">

i just want to add class and onsubmit attributes in this form.

You should never mix javascript and HTML. Assign your event handlers unobtrusively in a javascript file.

$('#my-form').submit(function() {
// do stuff
return false;
});

If you need to customize your form, there's nothing forcing you to use the default form markup. That's just for quick rendering and prototyping, IMO.

<% control MyForm %>
<form $FormAttributes>
<div class="customStuff">
<% control Fields %>
$FieldHolder 
<% end_control %>
</div>

<% control Actions %>
$FormHolder
<% end_control %>
</form>
