Calling Two functions on onSubmit.

[yash]

Hi,
Can we call more than one functions on onSubmit event.
I want to call two differnt functions on onSubmit event.
it doesn't work. If i call one function it workks fine..
Any idea.. If it is possible to call more than one functions what is syntax..
I'm calling like
onSubmit= "return radiomust(rm); return namemust(nm);"

Regards..
Yash

try this
<form ... onsubmit=&quot;return (radiomust(rm) && namemust(nm))&quot;>

------
and if it doesn't work, try this :
<form ... onsubmit=&quot;return trick_function()&quot;>

and
function trick_function()
{
return (radiomust(rm) && namemust(nm))
}
--------
and if it still doesn't work, let me know

Does anyone know if you can call 3 functions? I have 3 and the first two are working.

Thanks in advance,

The same techniques can be used to call 3, or 4, or 5 functions. Adding them to the onSubmit gets cumbersome though, so I'd use the single onSubmit function that calls the other functions. It's more flexible.

function submitter() {
  if ( !radiomust() ) return false;
  if ( !namemust() ) return false;
  if ( !checkmust() ) return false;
  if ( !selectmust() ) return false;
  return true;
}
...
<form ... onSubmit=&quot;return submitter()&quot;>

Thanks, Tracy,

However, I'm trying to say the following:

<form .....onsubmit=&quot;return functiona();return functionb(); return functionc;&quot;>

And if functiona returns a false, then I don't want the others to continue, etc. Everything works fine for functions a and b, but when I throw functionc in and start passing parameters to it, the code doesn't execute.

Thanks for your help. I hope I didn't confuse you. Please let me know if you'd like an actual sample. There's a trivial bit of Cold Fusion thrown into the parms.

scripter73: Then use iza's solution.

onsubmit="return functionOne() && functionTwo() && functionThree()"

The && operator will continue with execution only if the earlier expressions are true.

The code I gave for the submitter function will do the same thing. If a function returns false then so will the submitter function, otherwise it will continue and call the next function. If they all return true, the submitter function will return true. You can use more than one return in the onSumbit itself. iza's solution works, but as this thread illustrates, it gets cumbersome when you start adding additional functions.
