I would like to have a form that can submit to two different action

  • 0

I would like to have a form that can submit to two different action pages based on a select box.

Meaning if I select in the select box Products, the action would be products.html, and if I select Users, the action would be users.html

I have found many examples that have two submit buttons, but I need only one submit button.

Any ideas on how to do it?

    you can use jQuery for that …

    if selected value equals something

    set form attribute action to the other thing not initial action

    this is pseudo code of course ..

    here is a working solution :

    <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#selectList").change(function(){
        if($('#selectList').val() == 1){
        $("#yourform").attr("action","secondaryaction");
        }
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select name="dummy" id="selectList">
<option value="0">foo</option>
<option value="1">bar</option>
</select>

<form id="yourform" action="primaryaction">
bla bla
</form>
</body>
</html>
