Setting Form.Action in Javascript - not submitting to correct page

[jjoy123123]

I want to submit my form (using Javascript) when a user clicks on the Save button. However, its not submitting to the Save_Call.asp page - it's just submitting the form to the page I am on. I know that the submit code is running because I can watch the page refresh. If it's making it to the submit code, then it must have read the line before it where I'm setting the action variable. Why isn't it going to Save_Call.asp though?

FYI - The reason I'm submitting through JavaScript is because I'm actually submitting to a different page if they click a different button.


JAVASCRIPT FUNCTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function SaveForm()
{
document.DetailForm.action == &quot;Save_Call.asp&quot;;
document.DetailForm.submit();
}
</script>

FORM TAG --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Form NAME=&quot;DetailForm&quot; id=&quot;DetailForm&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;Save&quot; onclick=&quot;SaveForm()&quot; value=&quot;Save&quot;>

I've never had a problem with not having the action set in the <form> tag, but that doesn't mean that I did it correctly, either. Another thought may be to tweak your javascript because I believe that you only need one equals sign when setting the variable. Take out the second equal (=) sign when setting the form action to the new location.

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function SaveForm()
{
document.DetailForm.action = &quot;Save_Call.asp&quot;;
document.DetailForm.submit();
}
</script>

Even idiots can be right every once in a while. ;-) Thanks!
