postSubmit event

Description

Initiates immediately after a form submits data to the host through the HTTP protocol.

Note: This event does not distinguish between submissions that are initiated by instances of clicking buttons, or submissions made to different URLs. Any script that needs to make these distinctions must include a script to determine which button was clicked. In general, the postSubmit event is conceptually similar to the postSave event and serves a similar purpose.
