Answer 1

Why not just make a custom form to replace the OOB list form? Then you can do whatever you want.

Hi Kamal, 

Specific to your requirement, 

When clicked on Save button, sharepoint calls the PreSaveAction method(JavaScript). 

So you can write your javascript code inside this Method and place it in a ContentEditor webpart and add it on ListForm(DisplayForm, EditDForm,NewForm).

You can refer and example about the presave action from my one of m posts i have recently added.

Kamal,

 

I would suggest that you simply replace the button using ribbon XML and call your custom JavaScript from that button. This is the supported way of replacing functionality. You can see a walkthrough on how to replace a button in the SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff407619.aspx

Thanks,
