Hi, I need help to JavaScript. I am new to this, and am trying to the
page online ASAP. I

have two submit buttons on one form, and each button will have to do
different things.

I named both button "but1". The first button has the value "Continue",
the second button has

the value "new page". If someone click on the button with the value
"Continue", I need to

check if certain information has been filled in before proceeding, and
if yes, I need to go

to page1.php (which is the second page of the form) and I have to save
the result on a

database.

If someone click on the button with the value "New Page", I do not need
to check for

anything, but I have to go to pagenew.php (which is a different version
of the second page)

and also save the result onto a database.

I have the following codes, I have been trying for the whole day, it is
still not working.

Would some please help me? Thank you very, very much!

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

function radio_button_checker()
{

        if(radio_form.but1.value == "Continue")
        {
                if((radio_form.Desc.value == "")
                || (radio_form.General.value == 0)
                || (radio_form.Specific.value == 0))
                {
                         alert("Please answer all questions.")
                        return (false);
                }
                return (true);
        }

}

function decideLink()
{
        if(radio.form.but1.value == "Continue")
        {
                return (page1.php);
        }
        if (radio.form.but1.value == "Would Not Outsource Offshore")
        {
                return (pagenew.php);
        }
}
-->
</script>


<form method="post" action="return decideLink()"
onsubmit="return radio_button_checker()" name="radio_form">

It would be more logical to go to comp.lang.javascript then, wouldn't
it?

But while you're here, do ask yourself how people without Javascript are
going to use your site. See

http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmatters/whatnojs.html and

And do ask yourself whether it will be clear to the user what you mean
by "Continue" and "Next Page". From the descriptions you give, I doubt
it.
