form_for onsubmit

Is there a reason I can’t find any information on using the onsubmit attribute with form_for? I’d hate to gasp hardcode the form tag in.

onsubmit is simply a pass-through attribute -- AFAIK there is no processing done by Rails. Onsubmit is used to specify a JavaScript event handler.

you can pass e.g., :html => { :method => :get, :onsubmit => 'blahblah;' } to form_for.
