Form with diferrent action forms depending on the context

[Michele]

Hi all,
I have a form with 3 combobox whitin a asp page called data.asp, whose
action form is itself; the first combobox drives the behaviour of the other
two.
The onchange event of the first combobox is related to a javascript function
in which I call the submit method for the form, whose action form is itself.
This works fine.
The problem is that if I want to save the changes done by the user (clicking
the OK button) I need to set the action of the form to another page, for
example save.asp.
The question is: how to do this?
I had written a function inside the onclick method of the OK button that is
similar to the following one

document.MyForm.action = "save.asp";
document.MyForm.submit();

But it doesn't work properly, because the page save.asp is never invoked.

Thanks in advance for the help,
Michele.

This is mostly a clientside issue, not asp but what kind of button is it?
Type=Button or Type=Submit?

It's a Submit button.
Type = Submit

Change it to "Button" if you want to use its onclick event to submit the
form.

Please followup in a client-side script group if you ahve further questions
about this. .scripting.jscript will get you prompt answers.
