Question

I know almost nothing about html and javascript. So pardon me if this is a silly question.

For a html input tag like this:

<input name="search1$btnSearch" id="search1_btnSearch" style="background-color: white;" type="submit" value="search"/>

What’s gonna happen when this button is clicked?

I looked in all the .js files that are referenced by the page that contains this input tag, but I did not find any code that responds to it.
So how can I locate the code that responds to this button’s click event?

By the way, I think the web site that contains this input tag is built with asp.net, because the pages have a .asxp extension.

Thanks.

Since it is a submit button, in the absence of any JS that overrides the normal functionality, it will submit the form.

There might still be some.

If it exists, it will likely show up if you turn on profiling in your JS debugger (make sure it is configured not to reset when you leave the page (which submitting the form will do)).
