Two actions in one click.

[chags]

Hi,

By clicking next button it has to update the database and should show next page. For which I writtern the following code

<A HREF=&quot;/servlet/SFAWhatNextServlet?Request=rerun&quot; onclick=&quot;return checkSaveState(formname)&quot;>Image</A>

In which the methode checkSaveState(formname) has the following code

.....
var status = document.forms[0].element[&quot;to_save_any&quot;].value;
if(status == &quot;yes&quot
{
document.forms[0].submit();
}
return true;
......

Actually after submitting it usually takes atleast 30seconds to update database . But immediately with in a second after the submit command, it is returning true and executing

HREF=&quot;/servlet/SFAWhatNextServlet?Request=rerun&quot;

by stopping submit action.

ie. in one step it is doing two actions. So How I can complete submit command(for completing submit it takes 30sec ) and then it has to execute HREF. If anyone suggest any alternative or any solution to same code will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

-> either populate the db in your servlet - thus you call directly the next page, and this is the next page that is in charge of populating the db - this is the &quot;logical&quot; way to do it !!!
-> or do as you woud do for a &quot;normal&quot; form : call the function to populate the db ONSUBMIT and set the form action to be the servlet : <form name= method= action=&quot;/servlets/SFA...&quot; onsubmit=&quot;javascript:the function to populate the db&quot;>
