[thelist] Multiple Form Actions, One Button?

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

Stephen,

You could write a function that fires off on the onSubmit event of
the form, that takes care of the two functions, for example:

function doMyStuff()
{
  document.myForm.submit() // submit your form for next page
  document.myForm2.submit() // submit a form that mails you etc
}

It doesn't have to be a second form that mails you, it could be
another script or somesuch. Now, this breaks if the user doesn't have
JS enabled, so you could take that into consideration, check your
logs for how many people that might affect, and how important this
is.
