Call function problem

[lucerias]

May i know what is the meaning of "this.form.action.value='Save'; return verify_data(EditView)", this.form.action means what is the action that we want to do to this form? What about verify_data, I have already checked the EditView and it is coded inside one php file. without specifying the location of the function, how could the system know and execute it? Thank you.

<td><input title="SAVE BUTTON" accessKey="S" class="button" onclick="this.form.action.value='Save'; return verify_data(EditView)" type="submit" name="button" value="SAVE" ></td>

this looks like javascript to me. are you sure this is php because i am positive that this is javascript code.

Can you guys identify and explain more to me on that? I have no idea, thank you.

that is javascript.  what exactly are you wanting to know about it? be more specific.

p.s. - moving this to javascript forum

I've never actually seen someone set .action.value before; but the function call is simply validating the form in some magical way, and returning false to abort form submission if it fails.
