I usually catch the submit action from the submit button. Would you care
to see what that gives? The event procedure must cancel the default
action, cross-browser... let me look this one up... nah, return false
will do.

Does that help enough?

Yow, now I re-read your snippet, something strikes me: inside the inline
onsubmit definition, there is no need to put 'javascript:'. Maybe that
is all it takes.
