 Three submit buttons
I have three submit buttons on my form.
Two of the submit buttons are to navigate through a recordset by using a Next and Previous (Submit) button.
My third Submit button is to actually submit the data to the server. This is how I have it working:
This is the third Submit button.
<INPUT Type=Submit Value="Add Record" onClick="this.form.action='deleterecord.asp';">
This works fine!
** I have a validating function that when the user clicks the third submit button I want the Validate function that I created to run before submitting the data to the server.
But the problem is with three submit buttons. Can anyone help me out???

hello,
i don't know if this is want you want to do but maybe you can
pass a value to the submit function to see which submit button triggerd the function. that way you can validate based on the value of you flag variable
but maybe i am way off so...
<html><head><title></title>
<script>
var flag=0;
function vali(a) {
if (flag) { alert("you clicked the first submit") }
else
{ alert("you clicked the second submit") }
}
</script>
</head>
<form name= "form1" action="" onSubmit="return vali(this)">
<input type = "text" name="txtFirst">
<br>
<input type = "text" name="txtSecond"><br>
<input type = "submit" name="sub1" value="go1" onClick="flag=true"><br><br>
<input type = "submit" name="sub2" value="go2" onClick="flag=false">
</form>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

your best bet is to change the 2 submit buttons to buttons since you are using javascript anyway. then that would leave the third one to do what you want.
the vlaidate has to be javascript as when you submit it will go in order as the script that takes the submit.

PROBLEM RESOLVED:
I changed the third button to a button type and created two seperate forms on the same page. For the third submit button I used javascript to call the submit function...
Works like a charm..
