1 form, 2 actions? Or help with another solution…

What I need is for this form to submit AND take the user to the Paypal payment page (the Paypal button is showing at the bottom of the page, but I will remove it and ONLY use the “Proceed to Billing” button once this is figured out).

When I click submit, I not only need it to verify the required fields (which I’m working on seperately) but I *also* need it to perform the action to take the user to a Paypal payment page, shown in this code:

[CODE]
<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”8404079″>
<input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>
<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
</form>
[/CODE]

I tried redirecting the page to just go straight to the Paypal page, but I can’t get that to work either… but that would be fine if someone can tell me how to do that!

@aj_nscSep 23.2009 — To validate using JS, then add this to your form:

[code=html]
<form .... onsubmit="return verify();">
....
</form>
[/code]

JS:
<i>
</i>function verify() {
if(everythingsok) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}


If you want to perform a server side validation (which is always a good idea because users can easily have JS turned off), then the only choice is to submit this form to a page on your server which validates it, asks the user to confirm the info is correct, and then make the verify button a submit button for a form with hidden fields that contain all the necessary information for PayPal.

Success!
