Form "action=" variable?

[westcoaststyle]

Is it possible to have 2 submit buttons, one of which goes to one preset page with the form variables and the other goes to another page with those variables?

For example: I have a form with a drop box. Once I select that value from the drop box I can select one button to display it on one page in XML or I can select the other button and display the value in HTML.

I already know how to display the data in both of these "languages" but I don't know how to get it to go to the individual pages with the drop box variable.

Thanks!!

something like this should do the job:

function checkaction(formobj,flag){
if (flag){
formobj.action="path.to/scriptOne.cgi";
}else{
formobj.action="path.to/scriptTwo.cgi";
}
formobj.submit();
}

<form name=forma .. >
..
<input type=button value=&quot; XML &quot; onclick=&quot;checkaction(this.form,0)&quot;>
<input type=button value=&quot; HTML &quot; onclick=&quot;checkaction(this.form,1)&quot;>
</form>

I found another thread that does basically what you just said - located here: thread215-86565 (just above this thread on the thread list)

Please read that post and reply to what I wrote there. I'll try what you have written, but what do I put for the action of the form? <form name=... action=&quot;?&quot;>

Thanks!!

You need not enter anything in the action attribute as it is not mandatory. Alcohol and Calculus never mix! Do not drink and derive!
