Question

<form name="ipladder" id="ipladder" action="/checkuser/master-check.php"  method="post">
<input name="ipladder" type="text" id="ipladder" />

<input type="submit" name="submit" id="botton" value="Check" /> 
<input type="submit" name="geo" id="botton"/>
</input></form>

I have one input box and 2 submit buttons. When the first button is pressed (name=”submit”) I want it to go to master-check.php as specified in the action= parameter. However when the geo button is pressed, I want it to go through a different action which I haven’t specified because I didn’t know how to do so.

What can I do so I can have 1 input box and 2 buttons each processing through different action files?

Answer 1

Maybe you can try altering the “action” parameter of your form in an onclick method that, after changing, submits the form. Something like:

$('#btn1').click(function(){
  $('#ipladder').attr('action', 'location1.php');
  $('#ipladder').submit();
});

$('#btn2').click(function(){
  $('#ipladder').attr('action', 'location2.php');
  $('#ipladder').submit();
});

Another option of couse, is to post to 1 page…and handle the logic (some redirect or whatever) there.
