Form within a form

DarkPrince2005 · November 5, 2007

??? I've got a form that posts to another page that saves the changes made to a record. Is there a way that I can imbed another form in that form that posts the information to a different page that'll print it in a pdf file.

echo "<html><head><title>Edit Grievance Record</title><link rel='stylesheet' href='stylesheet.css' type='text/css'>
<style>

	a:link{font-family:'Verdana';

	color:'#000000';
	font-weight:700;
	text-decoration:none;
	}

	a:visited{font-family:'Verdana';

	color:'#000000';
	font-weight:700;
	text-decoration:None;
	}

	a:hover{font-family:'Verdana';

	text-decoration:none;
	color:'#B37A04';
	font-weight:700;
	}

	a:active{font-family:'Verdana';

	color:'#000000';
	font-weight:700;
	}
</style>";

echo "<script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"datetimepicker.js\"\n>;";

What exactly do you meen by 'embed another form'? Why do you need another form?

DarkPrince2005 · November 5, 2007

is there another way of posting the information to two seperate pages. e.g. save posts to save.php and print posts to print.php

rajivgonsalves · November 5, 2007

well if the information is similar just change the action property of your form (through Javascript) and your done.

DarkPrince2005 · November 5, 2007

can you just please give me an example of how that'll look, haven't actually worked with javascript in ages

rajivgonsalves · November 5, 2007

did you mean post to two different pages at one time or either one of them ?

DarkPrince2005 · November 5, 2007

either, the page has got two buttons on where each one posts to a different page
