Multiple Form Action Attributes

is it possible to make a form perform 2 actions?

[stavs]

It would be handy if I could make a form execute two actions.

Is this possible?

stavs.

[knighty]

yes ;)

[bobriggs]

how?

[theperlyking]

Surely not possible without resorting to javascript or some form of black magic involving sacrificing a copy of Frontpage 2000?

[agerhart]

what about with ASP?......it has to be possible

[knighty]

You can do it using javascript either on onsubmit calling a function etc

[evinrude]

Wouldn't it depend upon the actions? I think more info is needed here. Sending a request to some dynamicly processed page (such as ASP or PHP) could allow for many actions. I guess my question would be, "What two actions would you like to perform?" :)

[stavs]

action 1 - anyform.cgi

action 2 - activate an auto responder

the anyform script is excellent for our needs but does not provide for auto responders. Hence the need for two actions on the submission of the form.

Here's an idea.

This goes in a SCRIPT element:

function mySubmit() {
  if (data_validates) {
    runAutoResponder();
    // form will be submitted
  }
  else {
    return false; // don't allow submit
  }
}

This goes in the BODY element:

<form name='form1' action='anyform.cgi' method='post' onsubmit='mySubmit()'>
