buttons

[travmak]

I'm rather new to form buttons. How can I make a button do something other than submit, and follow the forms action and reset, to clear the form?
I have a form that inputs data into a database. The forms action calls savedata.asp How do I make a "back to main menu" or "exit without saving"?

Thanks in advance

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;back to main&quot; onClick=&quot;window.location='main.html'&quot;>

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Exit&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:document.location='index.htm'&quot;> ....:::::.... xxLargeWASP ....:::::....

there are a number if way to make an exit without saving or back button. Firstly use input type=&quot;button&quot; like this instead of submit

<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;exit&quot; value=&quot;Exit Without Saving&quot;>

and then apply an onclick event to the button like this:

onclick=&quot;window.location.href='index.asp'; return false;&quot;

which will redirect the browser using Javascript. Alternatively you could call a Javascript function and do your actions from there.

hope this helps

How do I make it call a VBScript function?

<input type = &quot;button&quot; name = &quot;button&quot; value = &quot;button1&quot; onClick=&quot;what goes here?&quot;>


<script language = &quot;vbscript&quot;>
function button1function()
instruction
instruction2
instruction3
instruction4
end function
</script>

Put your <script></script> stuff between the head tags, then have onClick=&quot;button1function&quot;

But use Javascript unless
a) You really can't (although there are loads of source code libraries available)

b) You know for sure that the users will only be using IE (or you don't care)
