HTML input with multiple names/functions?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 24.2012

Hi, I’m looking for a way to have a single input button carry out multiple JS functions.

My variable, item_1, gets sent through the form with this code:

[code=html]<input type=”image” src=”add1.png” name=”item_1″/>[/code]

But item_1 is dynamically generated depending on how many records match the set, so there may be item_1 through item_26, and I want the input to send all 26 through.

I could have 26 different input buttons, but that would look awful. Is there a way to have one button execute them all?

TIA.

@NoEffinWayFeb 24.2012 — make a hidden form that is populated like

item_1|item_2|item_3

and so on. Then you can pass the content of the hidden field to whereever and split the string by '|'

@clipper103authorFeb 28.2012 — Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not sure what the correct syntax is here. I've tried the following three variations and the form loses functionality.

[code=html]<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_1" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_2"|"item_3"|"item_4"|"item_5" />
[/code]
[code=html]<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_1" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_2"|name="item_3"|name="item_4"|name="item_5" />[/code]

[code=html]<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_1" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_2" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_3" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_4" />
<input type="hidden" name="item_5" />[/code]

As it is, it executes the first item. While I try to add the additional items, it doesn't even do that.

@NoEffinWayFeb 28.2012 — Would be more like:
[CODE]<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_1"/>
<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_2"/>
<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_3"/>
<input type="image" src="add1.png" name="item_4"/>
<input type="hidden" name="passthisdata" value="item_1|item_2|item_3|item_4" />[/CODE]
What is the JS you want it to run? I didnt think to ask that before.

Success!
