Two Actions on One Form

Thanks for the feedback.

I have a similar issue (new to dreamweaver)

ASP VB Dreamweaver 8
I have a form with code that updates some sql tables with data from some
text fields

I have :

<td><input name="submit2" type="submit" value="Insert record" /></td>

which works fine.

I have added 2 browse buttons that browse to files and a button uploads them
to the server with:

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Upload the files &gt;&gt;" />

The problem with the above is the client has to press 2 buttons. One to
update the databse & one to upload the files. I need to achieve this on one
button.

I do not understand what the syntax of submitting a form is.

Is there anyway to achive this or any simple examples to walk me through
what happens on a submit form?

Cheers

SteveW

In this particular case, you wouldn't really need to use javascript. You
could do a HTTP post on the server. In ASP, one can use the MSXML object.
The form can be posted to the destination URL without passing browser
control.

The use of javascript in a website is a bit more complex than saying "yes,
it's a good idea" or "no, it's a bad idea". It depends on the nature of the
pages. My own view is that public facing browsable by all pages don't really
need to use too much javascript anyway to function. On the other hand, for
intranets or member websites, it quite conceivable that the owner insist
that users have javascript/cookies switched on. So, one can't really
generalise.

And the most unreliable.
One form, one action. Period.

Please do it right and use a server-side script. There you can do
anything you want.

Javascript is the easiest solution.

Create a function that changes the document.form.action into the new URL
Send me your code if you want.
