Re: Re: Re: <input type="button"> does not generate parameter=>value pair

You didn't get what I mean!
~~You use a submit button.~~ If you supply an onclick handler, this one has to return true in order for the button to submit anything.
But your onclick handler already does the submit.

Question: What do you want to achieve?

Re: Re: Re: Re: <input type="button"> does not generate parameter=>value pair by dda (Friar) on Jul 15, 2003 at 10:17 UTC
I want to submit the form either by button1 or button2, and to get a value of clicked button. The reason I do not use two submit buttons - in real life my form has a text field as well, and when I press "Enter" in that text field, I want to submit a form with button2, not with button1. That is why I changed type=submit to type=button.. Thank you for you help! --dda	[reply]

Looking at the Forms section of the HTML 4.1 W3c Recomendation i noticed that you can do: `<BUTTON name="submit" value="submit" type="submit">` to create a submit button using a Button instead of an Input. I'm not sure how this effects the default button pushed though. Eric Hodges	[reply] [d/l]
