How to update and insert from same page using type="submit" or "button"

I am trying to remember where I saw the technique of adding a separate button to a coldfusion or flex page, other than the submit button, and calling a function to do something different like a query into database on insert page without inserting if onclick for update button is event.

Hi Gregory,

If I understand what it is you are trying to accomplish, perhaps something

like this:

below would send you to designated page and pass the record_id var to

the page, along with any additional forms

onClick="this.form.action='http://path/to/cf_page.cfm?record_id=#URLEncodedFormat(record_id)#';this.form.submit()" onMouseOver="style.cursor='pointer'"

- or -

then on same page try the following:

<cfisdefined('form.btn_insert')>

- - - do whatever it is you want done

<cfisdefined('form.btn_update')>

- - - do whatever it is you want done

When I get back to that page, your second example seems like it might work out. I might also try

using Phillip Churvis's advanced custom tag technique from Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Application Development, in which one page adds, deletes, updates, and views records from a database.
