Good Morning,
I wanted to use multiple buttons on a form page, but now I have found a
problem with doing so. The form submits info to a database, within the form
are two buttons;
<input type="button" value="Foo" onClick="imagePopup('image.asp','600','100')">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
Both of these work fine.
I have another form to popup a help window which just contains a button;
<form name="help"><input type="submit" name="help" value="Help"
onClick="helpPopup('help_feature.asp','380','400')"></form>
AAACK... see it now! The help button needs to be a button, not a submit. I
changed it and it worked.
This brings up what may be my cheapest tip to date, but since this has
happened more than a couple of times now....
<tip>Having a problem with some code? Start typing the problem out, as
above, or describing the problem in detail to a fellow coder. You will
often locate the problem due to the fact that you have to slow down enough
to actually describe and look at the code in a little different light than
your normal "staring-at-the-screen-too-hard" mode.</tip>
