To use onsubmit you have to "replace" the __doPostBack; if you look at the page source you'll see that the __doPostBack function does something like:

your-form.submit();

What __doPostBack needs to do is something like ...

if (your-form.onsubmit != null ) your-form.onsubmit();

You can get around this by adding your own client script and wrapping the __doPostBack.
