title: MVC3 input button that doesn't call controller action and just executes jquery event?
body: <p>On MVC3 Create view, How do I ensure that an input tag of type "submit" doesn't call Create action in MVC3 controller and only calls a jquery function?</p>
  
  <pre><code>function start()
  {
     alert("hi");
  }
  
  &lt;input type="submit" value="Start" onclick="start();"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whenever I click on the Start button, it shows the "hi" alert box and then it calls a Create controller action again?  How do I ensure that it doesn't post back to the Create controller action?</p>
  
  <p>thanks.</p>
