onsubmit question

[sborny]

Hi,

I have an HTML form that Javascript buitl in to it.

When you press submit you then call the javascript function.
ie: onsubmit="VerifyData();"

Is it possible to have 2 different javascript functions being called when you submit.

Cheers

Symon.

Everything has an answer, it's just knowing the right question to ask. !!!!

Sure. Just delimit them with semicolons. To further your example:

onsubmit="VerifyData(); SendForm();"

Hope it helps.

I don't think you can call two separate functions. However, you can call one function which then calls two separate functions. How 'bout this:

onsubmit="[blue]return[/blue] VerifyData();"

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function FirstFunctionCall(){
	[green]//If data is valid, return true
	//Else, return false[/green]
}

function SecondFunctionCall(){
	[green]//If data is valid, return true
	//Else, return false[/green]
}

function VerifyData(){
	if (FirstFunctionCall() && SecondFunctionCall()){
		return true;
	}else{
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Notice the "return". This will return true or false. If "true" is returned, then the process continues. If "false" is returned, then the process halts.

Hope that helps.

Hmm. Guess I was wrong about the two separate function calls. Oh well, my solution would probably work too. Thanks, Vragabond.
