Question

I wonder whether someone could help me please.

I’m put together the following form contained within a PHP file.

<form name="savemyfindstolocation" id="savemyfindstolocation" method="post">    
            <p><label></label>
            </p>
            <p align="left">
                <input name="userid" type="text" id="userid"/>
                <input name="locationid" type="text" id="locationid"/>
                <br />
            </p>
            <div>
                <label>
                    <div align="left">Click on the map to place the marker for the find that has been made and drag until the precise location has been found. </div>
          </div>
                    <p align="left"><label>Find OSGB36 Latitude Co-ordinate<br />
                        </label>
                    </p>
                    <div>
                        <div align="left">
                            <input name="findosgb36lat" type="text" id="findosgb36lat" size="20" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <p align="left"><label>Find OSGB36 Longitude Co-ordinate<br />
                        </label>
                    </p>
                    <div>
                        <div align="left">
                            <input name="findosgb36lon" type="text" id="findosgb36lon" size="20" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <p align="left"><label>Date of Trip<br />
                        </label>
                    </p>
                    <div>
                        <div align="left">
                            <input name="dateoftrip" type="text" id="dateoftrip" size="10" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
   <input name="submit" type="submit" onclick="MM_callJS('savedata()')" value="Submit" />        
    </form>

It all works fine, but I’d now like to add a button that opens the following php page, ‘blobupload.php’. If I’ve understood this correctly from the research that I’ve done, I need to use javascript to open the page, using the ‘submit’ action from the main form.

What I don’t understand is how to do this when the ‘submit’ action is already taken for the saving of the information on the main form.

Could someone perhaps please show me how to get around this, i.e. using the same ‘submit action but for two different purposes.

Answer 1

Just modify your form tag (add the action attribute to file you want to load):

<form name="savemyfindstolocation" id="savemyfindstolocation" method="post" action="blobupload.php">

And you submit input tag:

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
