submit button - onclick

[JanS]

Hi,

Now that my problems with passing data between forms are solved, I am trying to validate data. I want to be able to run a procedure when the user clicks on the submit button. But when I add onclick="check_params" to run the check_params code, I get the following error when the button is clicked:

"check_params" is undefined.

How should I be referencing (and declaring) the procedure? Should it be included in <%...%> or defined in <SCRIPT>....</SCRIPT> tags??

thanks again
jan

The function needs to be declared between <SCRIPT> tags but there is also an error in your function call. You need the following:

onClick=&quot;return check_params()&quot;

Hope this helps Mise Le Meas,

In the VBScript Equivelant, you do not need the onsubmit attribute, you can use the following code:

<script language=vbscript>
function MyForm_onsubmit()
<--frm testing code goes here-->
end function
</script>

and then in the body here is the form:

<form ID=MyForm Method=Post Action=&quot;PosttoPage.asp&quot;>
<input type=Submit Name=&quot;SubmitMe&quot; Value=&quot;Submit&quot;>

VBScript already handles the onsubmit event, you just need to know how to make use of it.

Hope this helps

I have a followup question to this.

If I have a form, whic does not have a submit button, but it has a button with an onClick event. This should run a vbscript function to submit the form. At the moment, it successfully runs a javascript function.

The header of my form is as follow:
<form name=&quot;myForm&quot; method=post action=&quot;processForm.asp&quot;>

Is there a vbscript equivalent to the following in javascript:
document.myForm.submit()
and
document.location.reload()

I need to use a function to submit the form instead of just using a submit button.
At the moment, it works with javascript but I want to use vbscript instead.
Thanks

I use the following at it works fine...

<script language=VBScript>
function btnName_onclick()
MyForm.submit
end function
</script>

The only problem that I have noticed on this, is that when you have submitted a form to THIS page which also contains a form, then doing the submit this way does not fire the onsubmit event but the form on THIS page will still post correctly. Tazzmann
