two similar forms one function

[storm1976]

hi there,

the problem ive got is that i have two forms (one at the top and one at the bottom) which do the same thing.

would just like to know how i could differentiate between the two forms. as in which form has been submitted.

at the moment the function i have is:

function goThere(){
if (document.myForm_bottom.botttom) {
thisPage = document.myForm_bottom.ipag.value
thisForm = document.myForm_bottom
}else{
thisPage = document.myForm_top.ipag.value
thisForm = document.myForm_top
}
start = <%=firstPage%>
finish = <%=iPageCount%>
isGood = true
if ((isNaN(thisPage)) || thisPage == &quot;&quot{
isGood = false
}
else{
thisPage = parseInt(thisPage)
if (thisPage > finish || thisPage < start){
isGood = false
}
}
if (!isGood){
alert(&quot;Please enter a valid number between &quot; + start + &quot; and &quot; + finish)
thisPage=&quot;&quot;; thisForm.ipag.focus();
}
else{
document.location = &quot;searchresults.asp?<%=query%>&ipag=&quot; + thisPage
}
}

but this only looks at the top form. i have tried at the top of the function to find which button has been clicked.

any help would be appreciated

cheers in advance
Storm

function goThere(formNum){
thisPage = eval(&quot;document.formNum&quot; + formNum + &quot;.ipag.value&quot
start = <%=firstPage%>
finish = <%=iPageCount%>
isGood = true
if ((isNaN(thisPage)) || thisPage == &quot;&quot{
isGood = false
}
else{
thisPage = parseInt(thisPage)
if (thisPage > finish || thisPage < start){
isGood = false
}
}
if (!isGood){
alert(&quot;Please enter a valid number between &quot; + start + &quot; and &quot; + finish)
thisPage=&quot;&quot;; thisForm.ipag.focus();
}
else{
document.location = &quot;searchresults.asp?<%=query%>&ipag=&quot; + thisPage
}
}

<form name=&quot;formNum1&quot;>
<input name=&quot;ipag&quot;>
<input type=button onClick=&quot;goThere(1)&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form>
...

<form name=&quot;formNum2&quot;>
<input name=&quot;ipag&quot;>
<input type=button onClick=&quot;goThere(2)&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</form>
