[thelist] Problem w/ Multiple Buttons on Page

[jay.blanchard at thermon.com]

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>
