# Events

The Telerik UI Form for ASP.NET MVC [exposes a number of JavaScript events](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/documentation/api/kendo.mvc.ui.fluent/formeventbuilder) that allow you to control the behavior of the UI component.

## Subscribing to Events

You can subscribe to all events of the Form component.

The following example shows a Form configured to handle its `validate`, `submit` and `clear` events.

```Razor HtmlHelper
    <div id="validation-success"></div>
    @(Html.Kendo().Form<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Form.UserViewModel>()
        .Name("formExample")
        .HtmlAttributes(new { action = "Index", method = "POST" })
        .Validatable(v =>
        {
            v.ValidateOnBlur(true);
            v.ValidationSummary(vs => vs.Enable(false));
        })
        .Items(items =>
        {
            items.AddGroup()
                .Label("Registration Form")
                .Items(i =>
                {
                   i.Add()
                        .Field(f => f.FirstName)
                        .Label(l => l.Text("First Name:"));
                    i.Add()
                        .Field(f => f.LastName)
                        .Label(l => l.Text("Last Name:"));
                    i.Add()
                        .Field(f => f.UserName)
                        .Label(l => l.Text("Username:"));
                    i.Add()
                        .Field(f => f.Email)
                        .Label(l => l.Text("Email:"));
                     i.Add()
                        .Field(f => f.DateOfBirth)
                        .Label(l => l.Text("Date of Birth:").Optional(true));
                    i.Add()
                        .Field(f => f.Agree)
                        .Label(l => l.Text("Agree to Terms:"));
                });
        })
        .Events(ev => ev.ValidateField("onFormValidateField").Submit("onFormSubmit").Clear("onFormClear"))
```

```JavaScript
    function onFormValidateField(e) {
        $("#validation-success").html("");
    }

    function onFormSubmit(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $("#validation-success").html("<div class='k-messagebox k-messagebox-success'>Form data is valid!</div>");
    }

    function onFormClear(e) {
        $("#validation-success").html("");
    }
```
