JavaScript - How To Use Onclick For Submit With Input Type 'button'?

I have created some online software which uses form data to submit to another page.

The problem is that I have other submit buttons in the same form which submit to different pages (depending on which button is pressed).

The first submit button works fine but all the others only work once.
Code:

<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button1' onclick="wbform.action='page1.php'; target='mainFrame'; return true;">
<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button2' onclick="wbform.action='page2.php'; target='_blank'; return true;">

<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button3' onclick="wbform.action='page3.php'; target='topFrame'; return true;">
<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button4' onclick="wbform.action='page4.php'; target='topFrame'; return true;">

<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button5' onclick="wbform.action='page5.php'; target='_blank'; return true;">
<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button6' onclick="wbform.action='page6.php'; target='_blank'; return true;">

Any ideas my friends?

Hi all, i have seen that there is an input type 'reset' which i presum clears all fields in a form? But anyway i did not know this existed and my implementation requires a bit more sophistication so i had already written code to do a custom reset of the boxes whilst keeping and updating certain key values. This works fine.

My question is, for the actual 'submit' of the data in a form do i have to use a button of type 'submit'? It is actually better for me in this instance that i do not as the special message windows i am using will close - and in the case of errors in the user input this is not desirable - so i have written the error handling etc with window staying open in mind, so that user can correct their errors and resubmit.

To accomplish this i changed my input into type 'button' and it works fine

When i click 'the submit button' it checks fields for valid data first - can i use its return value to somehow activate or not the actual form data sending?

Like i have

Code:

<input type = "button" style = "font-size:18;" value= "  Submit  "onclick = "CheckValid()"/>

I could be calling 'SendForm()' or something here instead and have check valid called from within SendForm() i norder to determin it's return type, how can i use this to decide if the form data is valid to send or not? and how could i use the return value in the html like this?

should i A: think it is possible to send all the data from within the onclick function so i use that to decide if it gets sent from internal calls there and display thank you message if so, if not display error message.

should i B:

Disable the sending button until the fields contain valid data? Or use a second button to confirm data then allow a submit button to be pressed?

Hate to ask this as I know it's an easy one but surprisingly Google turns up no clear/simple answers!

I'm modifying some old code and am not JS programmer (I'm a PHP programmer) and this is driving me nuts. The existing code makes sure that when the form is submitted that there isn't a missing value. There's also some hidden input values. The JS starts out

function checkform(orderform)

and the form tag includes onsubmit="return checkform(this);">

I can add an alert to the form to see varius input values, such as a hidden value for the input name 'description' I can use:

alert (orderform.description.value)

Eazy peazy.

However the form has two different input type=image buttons now and I need to do some branching in the JS depending on which image button they press. I recall IE had an issue where it only sends the x and y coordinates So I figure an easy to determine which image button was pressed is just check to see if the x or y value for each button is non-zero.

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to access the value. Example:

alert (orderform.button1.x.value) doesn't work.

Can someone refresh my memory or suggest an entirely different method for detecting which image button was used to submit a form?

THanks in advance!

I'm trying to get a submit button to open a thank you page I created (i.e. thankyou.html) only after the user has filled out a series of questions for a form. If they don't fill out the required information, a pop up box informs them to fill out the section (this I have accomplished). I cannot get the submit button to not work if the fields are left un-answered. Can you guys help?

Thanks for you help.

All,
I have the following code:
Code:

<input type="button" name="button" value="Submit" 
   onclick="javascript:get(this.myform);">

How can I change this to make this button disabled after the onclick?

Thanks in advance.
