gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), "ui action id") triggers the UI Action which is specified in the 3rd parameter, which is the action name/element id.


It is mostly used in UI actions that have a client side and a server side script.



At the end of the client side script, you call gsftSubmit in order to trigger the UI Action again - this time running only the server side code.


Please also have a look at Mark Stanger's explanation:
