2 button in 1 form

[robert_gsfame]

I am really confused with this, hope someone could help..

 

let say i have 2 button in one form, first button i will use to do the submission while the other one will be used to send an email to user's email typed in the textbox..how to do it using javascript??

 

<form name = " form1" action="POST">

<input type = "submit">

<input type="text" name="user_email">

<input type="button">

</form>

 

What should i do with the button??

Hi robert_gsfame,

 

What you are proposing is not possible, there is no way to email form data using Javascript.

 

You would be better off having a checkbox on your form, something like "Email me a copy", then in your PHP code have an if statement which essentially says if checkbox is checked, send email to email address.

 

Hope this helps.

However, you can make it seem like javascript with

 

AJAX - http://www.w3schools.com/Ajax/Default.Asp

 

It's a wonderful tool

no...no...no what i mean is that when i press the other button then it goes to another page where i put a mailto script inside the page

You could give code similar to the below a try:

 

<input type="button" onclick="document.form1.action='page.php'; document.form1.submit();">
