Multiple submit on same form, to different pages 1

[TheJhereg]

Got a bit of a problem... I'm probably missing something really stupid...

I have a very simple form (code below) that has 2 different form submissions that need to coexist on the same form. My idea for getting this to work is to alter the action on click in the second submit (forms[0].action).

Sounds good in abstract, but I'm having problems. While I can alter the action easily enough, the submit button that alters the action will not submit once the script has been added to the onClick, and I cannot force the button to submit the form using script.

here's the code...


<form name=&quot;mlsSave&quot; id=mlsSave method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;find.php&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;mlsString&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;numStored&quot; value=&quot;0&quot;>
MLS #: <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;mlsNum&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;store&quot; value=&quot; Store &quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onclick=&quot;document.forms[0].action='sendSaved.php'; document.forms[0].submit();&quot; >
</form>

...forms[0].submit() doesn't work. neither does document.all.mlsSave.submit(). (both generate the error &quot;object doesn't support... this... method&quot.

If I leave off the submit, then the onClick event removes the submit event, and only changes the action and nothing else.

I'd add another form, but I have a good reason for using only one. Any ideas for getting the submit to work in script, or any other ideas would be appreciated. The Jhereg

how about making the onClick an onSubmit? <insert witticism here>

No dice.... Neither onSubmit nor onBeforeSubmit are valid events for a input=submit.

and yeah, I tried it just to be sure. The Jhereg

sorry I should have said more.
Put the onSubmit on the form tag ..
give both submit buttons id/names (same) and values (different) ..
check the value of the submit button(s) element (ie by name) and branch on that.

Okay, Problem solved.... The problem? I'm an idiot.

<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onclick=&quot;document.forms[0].action='sendSaved.php';>

Yanno, the code actually works if that's a submit button............
