onClick and Submit Button 1

[aarushi2001]

Hi guys..

need help... I have a form with 2 options: either a user can 'save and exit' or 'save and continue'.. if I just put <form action"whatever.jsp">.. whatever user clicks he is forwarded to whatever.jsp

If I use onclick=window.href"".. it is not able to extract values entered by user..

what shud I do?

what? what is it that you're trying to accomplish, from a business logic perspective?

You should have two submit buttons, with the same names, but different values. Then simply detect server-side which value was passed to determine which action to perform. Much like the "Preview Post" and "Submit Post" buttons here.

A quick search would have found this, as it's been discussed to death recently.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi.. thanks for such a quick reply.. I did try searching forums before posting (my KWs would have been wrong)..

Dan, so I dont need to use onClick?

That is correct - which means your page will work for those with JS disabled - always a nice bonus.

yup.. I found the link.. thank u so much.. am relatively new.. dont mind my silly question but,

how can I transfer user to next page.. (the code provided alerts based on submit values)

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

Huh? What link?

Transfer to next page? You said you had a form - clicking submit buttons will take the user to the next page if you have an action specified.

hmm I guess I confused you guys...

I have 2 submit buttons 'save n exit' and 'save n continue'.. on clicking either.. user should be redirected to required page..

Then the solution I mentioned should be fine.
