Rodis Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think you should use a piece of jquery to have different buttons to different things and have the preview button take action to the preview field like so <form id="myForm" method="post"> Search: <input type="text" name="search"/> <input type="button" id="preview" value="Preview display" /> <input type="button" id="submit" value="Submit buisness" /> </form> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#preview").click(function(){ $('form#myForm').attr({action: "preview.php"}); $('form#myForm').submit(); }); $("#submit").click(function(){ $('form#myForm').attr({action: "submitpage.php"}); $('form#myForm').submit(); }); }); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148417-reload-page-with-new-data-using-a-form/#findComment-779231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodis Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I wouldn't know any other way to get it to work as either with javascript or jquery. And as for as my knowledge goes, aren't form attributes part of javascript to? jquery just makes javascript shorter and looks better? at least it is working for me on some pages i used. correct me if i am wrong Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/148417-reload-page-with-new-data-using-a-form/#findComment-779240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
