You currently have this code in your form:

        <form action="" method="get" onsubmit="taskOne(this.form)">
              <input type="text" name="myName" />
              <input type="button" name="submit" value="submit" />
        </form>

If you want your form to trigger onsubmit you need to change your input
type="button" to input type="submit". You would also like to change you
onsubmit to refer to this instead of this.form

It will then look like this:

        <form action="" method="get" onsubmit="taskOne(this)">
              <input type="text" name="myName" />
              <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
        </form>
