Richfaces 4.1: onsumit of form not called

[mhn]

The onsubmit attribute of my form is not called if I execute an ajax command in richfaces 4.1

<h:form id="docform" onsubmit="alert('yippieh);">

    <a4j:commandButton

          onclick="if(!check(this)){return false;}"

          actionListener="#{MyController.do}"

           execute="@this"

           render="foo"

            oncomplete="doit();"

      .../>

This was working well with Richfaces 3.3.3.

How can specify some JS functions that should be executed before any ajax call?

I do not want to add it to a few hundred commands.

Hi, Michael

Use h:commandButton instead of a4j:commandButton

   <h:form onsubmit="alert('yippieh');">

        <h:commandButton value="push me" actionListener="#{userBean.do1}"/>

    </h:form>

I think this is not the right approach since he wants to 'capture' ajax calls and not just form submits.

You should look into a4j:queue - the global queue should be sufficient. But I'm not sure if the clientside features are already working.
