how to submit form to different url based on input?

[alan123]

Hi,

I have a simple form:

<form name=&quot;info&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;page1.php&quot;>
<select name=&quot;sel&quot;>
<option>Yes</option>
<option>No</option>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot;>

I want to submit the form to "page1.php" if user select "Yes", or submit the form to "page2.php" if user select "No", how can I write the javascript to verify the value and submit to its respective page? thanks very much.

I'm pretty sure that this does it.

document.info.action = 'somePage.php';
document.info.submit();

be sure to change the "name" of your submit button to something other than "submit" or the submit() method will not work.

ahh, didn't see you were using a submit button, in that case do it thise way:

<script language=Javascript>
function submitFunction() {
   if(whatever) {
      document.info.action = 'somePage.php';
   }
   else {
      document.info.action = 'someOtherPage.php';
   }
   return true;
}
</script>
<form name=&quot;info&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;page1.php&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return(submitFunction())&quot;>
<select name=&quot;sel&quot;>
<option>Yes</option>
<option>No</option>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot;>
