Syntax difference in javascript function call?

Question

What's the difference between:

<div onclick="return function()"></div>

against

<div onclick="function()"></div>

They seem to be doing the same for me, and I'm not sure which one to use.

Take, for example, a <form onsubmit="return validate();">...feed will be canceled if validate () returns false.

C The <form onsubmit="validate();">...view will continue regardless of the return value of validate ().

One element returns the value of the element whose attribute is located, the other will not.

return function (), click , function () , true.

, click onclick.

onclick="function ()" click , , .

function some_func () { return false; }

<a href="http://google.com" onclick="return some_func()">
  link #1
</a> <!-- user will never end up at google -->

^{javascript , .}

<a href="http://google.com" onclick="some_func()">
  link #1
</a> <!-- user will always end up at google -->
