Form Multiple Button Submit - Call ASP Page 1

RWF · Jan 15, 2002

The intent is to call an ASP page to perform a series of actions.

I have tried numerous variations with no luck. The concept of submitting a form is clear to me, but calling a specific ASP to perform an action from within a form is not.

Perhaps I am using the wrong approach in this, and may in fact not even need a form, although that will become necessary in the future.

The following produces no errors, but does not display the desired response.

Ideas?


<HTML>
<HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor=black text=red>

<FORM name="Formx" method="post">
<INPUT name = "X" value="See Number 1" type="button" onclick="Validate(1)" action="Response1.asp">
<INPUT name = "Y" value="See Number 2" type="button" onclick="Validate(2)" action="Response2.asp">
</FORM>

<script language="VBScript" type="text/vbscript">
<!--
sub Validate(x)

Set TheForm = Document.forms("Formx&quot

select case x
case 1
'if validation ok then
TheForm.Submit
'end if
case 2
'if validation ok then
TheForm.Submit
'end if
end select
end sub
//-->
</script>

</body>
</html>

===================
Files to be called:
===================

Response1.asp
-------------
<% response.write("1&quot

%>

Response2.asp
<% response.write("2&quot

%>

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function doSubmit(s){
if (s==1){
document.frmForm.action="A.asp";
document.frmForm.submit();
}
else{
document.frmForm.action="B.asp";
document.frmForm.submit();
}
}
</script>
</head>

<body >
<form name="frmForm" action="#" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="txt1" >
<input type="button" value="submit 1" onclick="doSubmit(1);">
<input type="button" value="submit 2" onclick="doSubmit(2);">
</form>
</body>

</html>

Thanks phuctran, works fine. I did have to remove the semicolons though. I would have preferred vbscipt, but for my purposes this will suffice.

I also noticed some errors in my code, and after fixing those, and placing the function in the head portion of the document, I copied your code to a subroutine and translated it to vbscript.

For some unknow reason the vbscript brought up the download window, asking me if I wanted to save the file.

Any help on that would be appreciated.

could you post your code here?

Here you go:


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="VBScript" type="text/vbscript">
<!--
sub doSubmit(x)

Set TheForm = Document.forms("Formx&quot

select case x
case 1
TheForm.action="c:\Retal\Response1.asp"
TheForm.Submit
case 2
TheForm.action="c:\Retal\Response2.asp"
TheForm.Submit
end select
end sub
//-->
</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor=black text=red>
<FORM name="Formx" method="post" action="#">
<INPUT value="See Number 1" type="button" onclick="doSubmit(1)">
<INPUT value="See Number 2" type="button" onclick="doSubmit(2)">
</FORM>

</center>
</body>
</html>

<!-- Response1.asp
<% response.write("1&quot

%>
-->

<!-- Response2.asp
<% response.write("2&quot

%>
-->

The VBScript code does indeed work.

After significant investigation I realized that the "File Download Window" problem occurs when I put in a path(e.g. "C:\....&quot

to an ASP file I want to load.

No problem with HTML using that construct, but my ignorance precluded me from understanding the concept of a server being a logical device rather than a physical one, and files are relative to the logical device,

Many thanks for your help.
