Submitting Form Issue 3

[TheConeHead]

I have two submit buttons for a form - if one is clisked I want a validating function called before it is submitted and if the other is clicked I do not want the validator called - how could I do this?

Rugth now I am just calling the function via <form .... onsubmit="return check();">

keep the onsubmit as you have it...

but put a check in place for which submit button was pressed... if one was clicked, return true immediately, otherwise go through the validation process.

remove the onSubmit action from here and try this

<input type=submit onClick="return check()" value="cnfirm">
<input type=submit value="No confirm">

Just set up a javascript flag:

<script type="text/javascript">

var doValidate = true;

function check() {
   if (doValidate) {
      //submission stuff here
   }
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="return check()">
<input type="submit" value="submit with validation" onclick="doValidate = true" />
<input type="submit" value="submit without validation" onclick="doValidate = false" />
</form>
