multi-action Forms

hey, im having a little problem and just wondering if anyone here could help me?

i have a form with ACTION="del.asp", and a input type="submit" however i would like a second button that will send the variables to a different file, named edit.asp, but i have no idea how to do this...

thanks

Perhaps this can get you started:

Basically, give both submit buttons the same name but with different values:
Code:
<input type="submit" name="bsubmit" value="edit">
 <input type="submit" name="bsubmit" value="delete">
Use an ASP page to choose which page to go to based on the value of "bsubmit" (in the example).

I hope this at least gets you started.

thanks for the help, i've managed to build that (i use javascript ASP though) however its always doing the first option, no matter what value is sent

Code:

<%@language="javascript"%>
<HEAD>
<%
var conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0";
db = Server.MapPath("db.mdb");
conn.Open(db);

var val=Request.Form("submit")
var item=Request.Form("itemdel")

if (val="Edit") {
Response.Write("coming soon")
  }
 else {
if (val="Delete") {
Response.Write("Item Deleted, Please wait while you are redirected back to the Admin Control Panel");
sql = "DELETE FROM Affiliates WHERE AffiliateNumber = "+unescape(item);
conn.Execute(sql);
  }
 }
%>
</HEAD>

but its saying "coming soon" no matter which button is pressed :rolleyes:

That's probably because in JavaScript, you have to use '==' rather than '=' when comparing things. Try this:

Code:

<%@language=&quot;javascript&quot;%>
 <HEAD>
   <%
   var conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
   conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0";
   db = Server.MapPath("db.mdb");
   conn.Open(db);
   
   var val=Request.Form("submit")
   var item=Request.Form("itemdel")
   
   if (val == "Edit") {
   Response.Write("coming soon")
     }
  else if (val == "Delete") {
   Response.Write("Item Deleted, Please wait while you are redirected back to the Admin Control Panel");
   sql = "DELETE FROM Affiliates WHERE AffiliateNumber = "+unescape(item);
   conn.Execute(sql);
     }
   %>
  </HEAD>

do you have MSN?

Nope. I have AIM though. If you use AIM, I can send my screenname/username in a PM.

the best way to do this is to do something like

<form method="post" action="">

stuff here

<input type="text" value="submit-delete" onclick="this.form.action='delpage.asp'"; >
<input type="text" value="submit-delete" onclick="this.form.action='otherpage.asp'"; >
</form>
