My instinct was to bind the new guest handler to the submit button's onClick
. It seemed to function just fine. Is there a reason why it's better to bind to the form element's onSubmit
?

- a click event is generated by the element clicked on, and a submit event is generated by the form
- there can be more than one way to generate a submit event on a form
