Can you switch on Submit buttons?

**joey o.** · Oct 9th, 2000, 07:17 PM

Hi,
I'm really liking this stuff now, but lots of questions. How can I do a select case or If statement to determine what action goes in the form tag? I want to use more than one submit button on my calling html page to determine which ASP page to call. I want to use "real" buttons, not one's I have to make by pics or tables.
Thanks

Hi, why not try anything like this:

--------------------------------------------------
<script language="javascript">

</script>

<form action="whatever.asp" onsubmit="whereto()">
---------------------------------------------------

Good luck!

try this:

whatever.html

Code:

<html>

<head>
<script language=javascript>
function doit(x)
{
	
	switch(x)
	{	
		case 1:
			document.frm1.action="some.asp";
			break;
		case 2:
	
			document.frm1.action="someother.asp";
		break;
	}

document.frm1.submit();
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name=frm1>
	<input name=txt1>
	<input name=txt2> 
</form>
<form name=frm2>
	<input type='button' name=but1 onClick="doit(1)" value="Submit to choice 1">
	<input type='button' name=but2 onClick="doit(2)"value="Submit to choice 2"> 
</form>

</body>

</html>

someother.asp

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

<h1>someother asp</h1>
<%


response.write("Text 1: " & request("txt1") & "<BR>")
response.write("Text 2: " & request("txt2") & "<BR>")



%>


</BODY>
</HTML>

some.asp

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

<h1>some asp</h1>
<%
response.write("Text 1: " & request("txt1") & "<BR>")
response.write("Text 2: " & request("txt2") & "<BR>")
%>

</BODY>
</HTML>
