Problem with one form containing two submit buttons

in teh validate routine you need to reset the action from teh printpreview page to teh from processing page
so if the form validate succesfully, meaning without error, reset teh action and then it will siubmit properly

Jester_48,
   Thanks for your comment.  Oddly enough, the printpreview code does not trigger the validation routine even though the JavaScript for that button does submit the form.  The validation code does run with the regular Submit button including when the Submit button is clicked AFTER the print preview and then proceeds to that same Print Preview page.

a javascript command like
document.frmName.submit()

will not trigger the validation, you need to call it explicitly, efore teh submitcode
function SendToPreviewPage() {
      win=window.open('','myWin','toolbars=0,scrollbars=1');
      document.frmName.target='myWin';
      document.frmName.method="post"
      document.frmName.action="previewForm.asp"
      if(validate()){
document.frmName.submit()
}
   }

>But if the print preview button is used first, then the submit button changes to also run the print preview code.
that is because teh print preview option has overwritten the default action in teh form tag
<form method="POST" name="frmName" action="processForm.asp" onSubmit="validate();">

when this line executes teh action in the formtag becomes
<form method="POST" name="frmName" action="previewForm.asp" onSubmit="validate();">
teh change ie permanent unless teh page is reloaded or another script overwrites it again
validate(){
//validation code goies here...

if(error){
alert('error message');
}else{
document.frmName.action="processForm.asp"
}


}

I suggest you make the submit button a normal button, like preview.  Javascript will be needed to this form to work but you are sort of committed to that anyways with the preview.

The modified code would be ...

Form tag:  <form method="POST" name="frmName" action="processForm.asp" onSubmit="validate();">

Submit button:  <input type='button' value=Submit' onclick='SubmitForm();'>

Print Preview button:  <input type='button' value='Print Preview' onClick="SendToPreviewPage()">

JavaScript code:
   function SendToPreviewPage() {
      win=window.open('','myWin','toolbars=0,scrollbars=1');
      document.frmName.target='myWin';
      document.frmName.method="post"
      document.frmName.action="previewForm.asp"
      document.frmName.submit()
   }

   function SubmitForm() {
      document.frmName.action="processForm.asp"
      document.frmName.submit();
   }

Let me know if you have a question or need more info.

bol

you shouldn't do this
<input type='button' value=Submit' onclick='SubmitForm();'>
function SubmitForm() {
      document.frmName.action="processForm.asp"
      document.frmName.submit();
   }

you will submit the form will not call the onsubmit event

you need to add the code in the validate routine  

Jester_48:  Your code got me closer a little closer.  When clicking the PrintPreview button, the validation does fire but if there is a blank field, the alert message is displayed, the focus goes to the appropriate field, but it also opens a new blank window in the background.  If it passes validation, a new blank window also opens.  The only thing displayed in either case is the title bar which says "about:blank".  However, it does set successfully set the document.frmName.action to processForm.asp.  However, since I don't have any error handling (yes, I know) I put "document.frmName.action="processForm.asp" in the last else statement of the validation routine (see below).  The Submit button also calls validation but when it finds a blank required field, it shows the alert message then immediately submits the form instead of returning to the blank field.  I assume this is due to my unconventional approach to setting the form target and action in the validation.

Last section from the validation:
if (frmName.memDescription.value == "" || /^\s+$/.test(frmName.memDescription.value))
            {
                  alert("Please enter a description of the project")
                  frmName.memDescription.focus();
                  return (false);
            }
      else
            {
                  document.frmName.target='';
                  document.frmName.action="processFormNEW.asp"
                  event.returnValue=true;
            }

From the print preview code:
function SendToPreviewPage() {
win=window.open('','myWin','toolbars=0,scrollbars=1');
document.frmName.target='myWin';
document.frmName.method="post"
document.frmName.action="previewForm.asp"
if(validate()){
document.frmName.submit()
}
}

b0lsc0tt:  Yes, yours is the code I started with.  Just to be sure, I copied and pasted your code into my page, took out the lines I inserted per Jester_48 in the validation, and tried it.  The submit button runs the validation fine but never submits the page.  The print preview button runs the validation, but after the alert message opens a blank window with the title bar (about: blank) and nothing else on the page.

Something I've done while playing with your suggestions has broken my print preview display.  I'll be working to get that back next.

Thanks to you both!

in oder for this lkine to work properly
if(validate()){
document.frmName.submit()
}

the validate routine needs to return a value a falkse return will not submit teh form  a true return will submit

>>I assume this is due to my unconventional approach to setting the form target and action in the validation.
shouldn't matter

can you please post the entire form and js plz

Sorry, I overlooked the onsubmit event.  I would just get rid of that event and call validate() as part of the onclick event for the Submit button.  With 2 buttons it is best to not have one be type "submit."

I didn't look over your validate function but you could probably do what I said above with ...

   function SubmitForm() {
      if (!validate()) return false;
      document.frmName.action="processForm.asp"
      document.frmName.submit();
   }

Let me know if the form still isn't submitted.  It would help to see your current code and the validate() function if there is still a problem.  My code now will want the validate() function to return true if everything is OK or false if it isn't.

Let me know if you have a question or need more info.

I appreciate your help.  I've got to run now and will be working on another project tommorrow (and probably through the weekend...).  It will be Monday before I get back to this one.

b0lsc0tt:  I'll try your code change next.

Jester_48:  If I can't get b0lsc0tt's code to work, I'll post all the JS and form code on Monday.

I greatly appreciate your time.  Thanks again!!

b0lsc0tt:  I tried your code and the validation routine is now working on both the print preview and the submit, but neither button will then continue with the submit or preview functions.  The code I'm using for your buttons is below.

Jester_48:  I'm posting my validation and form code below, followed by the JavaScript which the form uses to display or hide fields.  

Reminder:  The validation and submit functions had been working for a few months.  It was only when I tried to introduce the print preview in a separate window function that things went wrong.

Thanks to you both for any other suggestions you give.

I left this one line in the validation code
           document.frmISRequest.target='';
