Submit forms with 'multiple submitbuttons' with javascript

[kjex]

I'm rewriting a webshop where all the "ugly submitbuttons" are changed
with more complexed and nice looking <a href="#" onclick="">'s

So here is the case, in the form there are several submitbuttons that
makes the backend javaengine deside what do do;

<input type=submit name="More<%= question.getAtt ributeKey().toS tring()
%>" value="<isa:tra nslate key="marketing. jsp.ChangeField s"/>">
<input type=text name="SaveMktPr ofile" value="<isa:tra nslate
key="b2c.market ing.profile.sav eButton"/>" class="FancyBut ton">
<input type=text name="CancelMkt Profile" value="<isa:tra nslate
key="marketing. jsp.Cancel"/>" class="FancyBut ton">

(makes the buttons; more, save and cancel)

How can I submit the form with javascript?
I tried make a dummy field <input type=hidden name="dummy"
value="xxx"> and call the submitscript:

<a href="javascrip t:Submitscript( 'SaveMktProfile ')">

<script>
function submitscript(ac tion){
document.form[1].dummy.name=act ion;
documen.form[1].submit();
}
</script>

but this don't work..

Have I just misunderstand the whole thing!?

Re: Submit forms with 'multiple submitbuttons' with javascript

Hello,

You can submit as: theForm.submit( )

If you want to know what to do on submit, add a hidden field and change its
value to denote what action to be done as:

<input type='hidden' name='whattodo' value='x'>
<script>
function submitDoThis(th eform)
{
theform.whattod o.value = 'dothis';
theform.submit( );
}

function submitDoThat(th eform)
{
theform.whattod o.value = 'dothat';
theform.submit( );
}
</script>

Later in your server page you can check the variable 'whattodo' and decide
what to do based on its value.

HTH,
