2 actions in a form

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 17.2007

Hello,
this is my first thread so hang with me.

I am trying to get a form to work on my website and I need it to do 2 things:
1. It needs to proceed to a payment form on our payment website and pass all of the info that form needs through to the next form.
2. I need it to email me the information on that form.

Now I can get it to do one or the other but not both using the “action:” thing in the form. I can go to the pay form with the correct action or to a formmail.pl file with the correct action. I cannot do both. Can I use Java and the OnClick thing to make this work and if so how I have tried several websites and most just offer how to send an email not how to do both.

Thanks,
Jonathan

[CODE]
<form name='form' action='action' method='get/post' onSubmit='...'>
......
[/CODE]
I have never handled with perl so I don't know is it possible to somehow call it with JavaScript, You have to check it on Your own

@bittespuhlenauthorJul 18.2007 — It didn't work that way. We are getting really tired of dealing with the merchant company they just emailed wanting another $200 to fix THEIR form. Here is the web address: http://www.simplyamazingu.com/register2.html

Can I build their side of the form?

How can I make it secure and work with the merchant account? If I knew how to do this we could just cut them out of the loop all together.
