Find out which button was clicked

[smh]

I am very new to internet development, so please bear with me.

There are 3 forms: form1, form2, and report1.

On form1, I have two buttons, button1 and button2.

When you select either of these buttons you are sent to form2.

On form2, there is vbScript to determine which button was selected to determine what is going to happen next. The code to determine which button was selected is not right. How do I fix this?

if session("CurrentAppl") = "Session1" then
temp = UpdateInetBankingInfo() 'Updates info submitted on form1

if Request.Form("button2") = clicked then
Response.Redirect ("report1.asp")
end if
end if

In HTML, give your button a name and a value:
<input type="submit" name="MyName" value="MyValue">

Then in ASP:
If Request.Form("MyName") = "MyValue" Then

This is what the button is on the first form.

<input type="button" value="Print Application" id="button2"
name="btnSubmit2" size="22" onclick="ck_Values()">

I can not use the type 'submit' because it has to go through data validation before it leaves the page for the new data entered. If I use a submit button and the data is wrong, it will display the error message and leave the form without having the user fix the invalid data.

<input type="button" value="Print Application1"  name="btnSubmit" onclick="ck_Values()">
<input type="button" value="Print Application2"  name="btnSubmit" onclick="ck_Values()">

which = Request.Form("btnSubmit")
'Which will be "Print Application1" or "Print Application2"

Another way to follow...

Thanks, worked great.

<input type="button" name="btnSubmit" onclick="ck_Values(1)">
<input type="button" name="btnSubmit" onclick="ck_Values(2)">

<script type="text/javascript">
  function ck_Values(which) {
    var which = Number(which);

    //Do validation

    document.myForm.myHiddenInput.value = which;
    document.myForm.submit;
  }
</script>

<input type="hidden" name="myHiddenInput" value="">

All that goes on the same page. The second page asks for Request.Form("myHiddenInput").

By the way... anyone seen any official documentation on how JavaScript/ECMAScript should handle form elements?

Travis, this page

http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-DOM-Le...-one-html.html

and the Rhino are what I use. Kind of outdated, but usually gets the job done.

All this time I've been looking at the DOM Level 3 Recs. There is stuff in the Level 1 Rec that isn't in the Level 3 Rec. Am I to assume that stuff is still accepted as standard, or has been depreciated?
