well i achieved that by using this code i found :

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

function OnSubmitForm()

{

  if(document.pressed == 'Insert')

  {

   document.myform.action ="insert.html";

  }

  else

  if(document.pressed == 'Update')

  {

    document.myform.action ="update.html";

  }

  return true;

}

</SCRIPT>
 
<FORM name="myform" onSubmit="return OnSubmitForm();">
 
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" name="Operation" onClick="document.pressed=this.value" VALUE="Insert">
 
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" name="Operation" onClick="document.pressed=this.value" VALUE="Update">
 
</FORM>

now the problem is i need to call the validate function as well OnClick
how do i get around this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" name="Operation" onClick="validate();document.pressed=this.value" VALUE="Update">

You can also put all of that functionality within the validate function. This is really more of a javascript question, if you are going to keep the thread going, we should move it to that forum now.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

onsubmit="return (onsubmit() && validate(this));"

You should avoid using reserved words, e.g. onsubmit for function names. Some browsers may start complaining. You could also call the onsubmitform function within validate(). There's also no need to return from the function because it always returns true.

hi
writing onsubmit within validate didn't work for me... don't know why..
other points noted...
thank's..

In validate(), just before return true at the end, just add:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 OnSubmitForm();

return true;

then your onsubmit event would be simply:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<form ... onsubmit="return validate(this);">

(you could always avoid this too and use unobtrusive JavaScript, of course).
