Question

I have 2 asp pages.

• Feedback_Administration_Update.asp
• Feedback_Administration.asp

My HTML form:

<form ACTION="Feedback_Administration_Update.asp" METHOD=POST NAME="form">
  <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:Checkit();" name="btnSubmit">
  <input type="reset" value="Reset" onclick="javascript:document.location=location">
  <input type="button" value="Send Response to Requester" name="btnSubmit" onclick="javascript:Checkit();"/>
</form>

Code in Feedback_Administration_Update.asp file:

dim buttonPressed
buttonPressed=Request.Form("btnSubmit")
select case buttonPressed
    case "Submit"
        'update database code 
        Response.Redirect "feedback_administration.asp?ID=" & regEx.Replace((request.form("ID")), "''") & "&lstPages=" & Trim(Request("lstPages")) & "&view=" & Request("view")& "&strSuccess1=" &"Success"
    case "Send Response to Requester"
        'mail  task code 
End Select

I am not sure why they are not working on clicking any button.

When I click on submit the page, it should update the code, when I click on submit Send Response to Requester, it should send email.

The value of button inputs is not sent to the server. You need to use ordinary submit buttons, and to have validation code you can cancel their onclick event:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return Checkit();" name="btnSubmit" />
<input type="submit" value="Send Response to Requester" name="btnSubmit" onclick="return Checkit();" />

To make it work, change your JavaScript function in two ways. First, don’t make it submit the form and second have it return true upon successful validation and false otherwise, e.g.:

function Checkit() {
    //validate your stuff..
    if ([all is good]) {
        //don't submit the form here, the submit button will do that.
        return true;
    }

    //indicate that something was wrong, cancel form submission:
    return false;
}

Having this in place will cause Request.Form("btnSubmit") to hold the desired value.
