Form.Submit question 1

[jimmythegeek]

In order to have client side validation, I use a "button" type button rather than a "submit" button. If everything validates, I do a frmMyForm.Submit. This works fine.

My question is, can I specify the Action as a parameter of the submit? for example:

frmNewEntity.Submit(Action='add_entity.asp?process=1')

If not, how can I dynamically change the query string on the submit?

Thanks in advance. Jim Lunde

We all agree your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough?

"can I specify the Action as a parameter of the submit"
yes sure you can:

document.formName.action=url

 

[jimmythegeek]

So would this work?

With frmNewEntity
.method = "post"
.action = "add_entity.asp?process=1"
.submit
End With Jim Lunde

I think the syntax is more like this:

with frmNewEntity {
   .method = "post";
   .action = "add_entity.asp?process=1";
   .submit();
}

There's no EndWith, the "with" should be lowercase, and the whole with block should be just that - a block, enclosed in curly brackets. "submit" is a function call, so you need the parens after it. Also you should make it a habit of ending your statements with a semicolon.

That is in Javascript, I did it like my previous post in VBScript, and it worked perfectly. Jim Lunde

Sorry, I assumed since it was in the HTML and CSS forum it was intended to be javascript. Not a really bright assumption on my part, was it? Oh well, at least if anyone needs to see how to do it in js it's here as well. Tracy Dryden

Sorry, maybe I should have been in the VBScript forum. Besides it's nice to know how to do it in Javascript. Jim Lunde

No, HTML & CSS is a language-neutral forum. That's why there are separate VBScript and Javascript forums.

I wouldn't mind seeing some DHTML Perl here for grins (of course this only applies to those who have ActivePerl or something installed on their clients). ;-)
