Override form submit on button press

[thrybergh]

Hello.

I've got a sign-in page with a form and three buttons. One is to submit the user/password, one is to send the forgotten password to the user and the other is to take the user to a registration page if they are a new user.

I have used CSS to make the buttons look the same, but I want the "register" button to simply navigate to a new page in the current browser window, and not submit the form. Can I stop the form being submitted with javascript?

Thanks.

Unless you've specifically created the &quot;register&quot; button as a <input type=&quot;submit&quot;> it will not submit the form.

You can make the button like so:

<a href=&quot;address for your page to navigate to&quot;><input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Register&quot;></a>

If this isn't what you're looking for, you might provide a little more information.

Good luck.

or:

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;regester&quot; onclick=&quot;window.location.href='regester.asp'&quot; />

where 'regester.asp' is the page you want them to go to.

Thanks guys. That's what I needed to do.

I'd forgotten that I could have my input attribute as a simple &quot;button&quot;.
