redirecting problem.

[Ikasari Widiyanto]

Hi,

I have problem in redirecting jsp pages. I hope somebody will help me.
I have 1 form and 2 button that do 2 different things, add and send. When I click add, it will go to 1 page and add the items. when I click send it will go to another page and send the info to be processed further. but my problem is that when I click send, instead of sending the info, it will add another item.can help me?

this is the html:

<form name="form3" method="post" action="request_action1.jsp?action=addmorerequest" onSubmit="return validateform();">
<td height="35" colspan="2"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" name="Submit4" value="Add Request">
</div></td>
<td height="35" colspan="3" width="345"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" name="Submit2" value="Send to verify" onclick = "send_to_verify()">
</div></td>

this is the javascript:

<script>
 function send_to_verify()
{
document.form3.action ="request_action1.jsp?action=addheader";
document.form3.submit();
}
 
function validateform()
{
var myForm = document.form3;

if (myForm.description.value == "" ;)  
{
alert("Please enter the item description" ;) ;
return false;
history.go(-1);
}
//if (myForm.requestType.value == "TBA" || myForm.requestType.value == "" ;) )
//{
//alert("Please enter the requestType" ;) ;
//return false;
//history.go(-1);
//}
if (isNaN(myForm.unit_cost.value)){
alert ("Enter the unit Price in numeric" ;) ;
return false;
history.go(-1);
}
if (isNaN(myForm.quantity.value)){
alert ("Enter the quantity in numeric" ;) ;
return false;
history.go(-1);
}
}
</script>

can solve my problem? Thanks

you do not need to use that history.go thing,m plus it does not get fiired after the return....


change the second submit button to a regular button and see if that works...
