submit buttons - changing behaviour

[Bartosz Wegrzyn]

I do have a form with 4 submit buttons.
Also I do have a script that checks that for for errors.

Right now I have onsubmit() event for checki my form.
After it is checked it runs my php script.

My problem is that for one button I do not want to run that script.
I want to be able to run it without validation.

I tried to change the type of buttons for button instead of submit.
That I added that action to onclick event = document.formname.submit()

Problem is that when I do this the data is not posted to my php script and
even not to my validation script. WHY???

Can anyone help

Bart,

Hi,

a)One reason for not having data being posted to your PHP script is that
your submit button belongs to a form and your form data belongs to another
form.


b)try behind each button to do this:
want_validate = true
and for the button of validation exclusion type this:
want_validate = false;

then on the onsubmit code do this:
if (want_validate) return doValidation() else return true;


hope that helps,
Elias
