Change From Action Based Upon Selection

[jsnull]

Attempting to figure out how to change a forms action, based upon a selection, once the 'submit' button is clicked. For example, if I select "one" the form would post to

http://www.one.com,

if I select two, the form would post to

http://www.two.com.

Thanx!

A better solution may be to listen to the onchange event of the select node and change the form action then. The following code example might help show how you could do this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function updateAction(data, form) {
  var newAction = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www."[/URL] + data + ".com/submit.php";
  form.action = newAction;
}
</script>
...
<form id="myForm" action="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.example.com/submit.php">[/URL]
...
<select onchange="updateAction(this.value, this.form.id);">
  <option value="one">One</option>
  <option value="two">Two</option>
</select>
...
</form>
...

Let us know how you go.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Thanx for your reply ... just wasn't able to get it to work. So I went to creating a 'confirmation' page with PHP and was able to handle it all with PHP redirects.

Much appreciated.
