amavadia Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have a form on my page with various elements and have created a seperate validate php page. At the bottom of my form I have a button (type="button"). When it is clicked, the data is posted to the validate page, and errors returned. If errors are returned it displays them, if not I want it to post and redirect to another page like a normal form. The problem I have is when I use a type="button" button, the first part works fine but obviously it does not post and redirect because it is not a submit button, but if I change the button type to submit, the .click() handler on the button does not seem to be firing and so the page is posted even without checking for errors. Should i be using a different handler on the submit button as opposed to a button button?

S3cr3t Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 What about a form.submit() event in your button click event ? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258249-submit-button-events/#findComment-1323764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amavadia Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thank you. I did try that before as well but just realised the silly error i made... used the form name as the selector rather than form id Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258249-submit-button-events/#findComment-1323768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
