If you're submitting, and you want something to happen first, and/or
you want the submission to be cancelled under certain circumstances,
then use the onsubmit handler of the form. Do NOT use the onclick

even shorter is:

onsubmit="
if(this.email.v alue!='e-mail')
return true;
this.email.valu e='';
return false;"
