two onSubmit commands

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 02.2006

I want to use two scripts that need the [I]onSubmit[/I] command

one to validate form
onSubmit=”return validateForm(this)”

one to submit form once
onSubmit=”submitonce(this)

Here’s my form — which is working great with the script I got on this site to validate the form.

Any suggestions?

@PineSolPirateAug 02.2006 — Try moving the "submitonce(this)" function call to the end of the "validateForm(this)" function.

Edit:

I looked at your code, try this out...
function bothSubmit (f) {
if(validateForm(f))
{
submitonce(f);
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
I think it should be fine, I'll mess with it and update if I find any problems.

<form action="#" method="post" onsubmit="return (checkCheckBox(this) && checkrequired(this))">

@KorAug 02.2006 — I guess PineSolPirate's method looks better to me. It avoids calling the second function if the first one's conditions are not fulfiled.

@PineSolPirateAug 02.2006 — I forgot to return true (I think thats required)
function bothSubmit (f) {
if(validateForm(f))
{
submitonce(f);
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

@CharlesAug 02.2006 — It avoids calling the second function if the first one's conditions are not fulfiled.[/QUOTE]As does HDC's. Dude, you have so got to learn Perl. It makes heavy use of such cheats that you can then apply in other languages. It's pretty standart that the right side of the "&&" operator is only evaluatetd if the left side evaluates to true.

@KorAug 02.2006 — You're right. Forgout about (false&&true) eval.
