The following post describes 3 of the many new Form Actions available in SharePoint.

Cancel:
This example shows how to return to home page after user cancels creating the item.

        window.location.replace("https://<siteurl>/sites/Site/SitePages/Home.aspx");
    });
});

Pre-Save:
This example shows how to show an alert and wait for OK or Cancel action.

function PreSaveAction() {
    if (confirm("Proceed with saving the item?"))
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

Post-Save:
