Javascript DOM onsubmit Event via addEventListener() method

Introduction

In JavaScript, using the addEventListener() method: 

object.addEventListener("submit",
       myScript);

This example uses the addEventListener() method to attach a "submit" event to a form element.

When you submit the form, a function is triggered which alerts some text.
