Several submit buttons in one form

If you need to have several submit buttons in on form, where each button perform different task you can use this code.

First make a JavaScript on top of your page.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function changeFormAction(anAction)
{ 
document.Add_Update.action = anAction;
document.Add_Update.submit();
}
//-->
</script>


The form action on your page.

<form action="" NAME="Add_Update" METHOD="POST">
     code
</form>

Notice: Remember that the name parameter in your form must be the same as the document parameter in your JavaScript. In this example we use the name "Add_Update" in the form, so in the JavaScript change document.something?.. to document.Add_Update.action = anAction and document.something? to document.Add_Update.submit();

You have to add the event onClick="changeFormAction to your submit buttons.

The "Reset" button do not call the JavaScript.
