Submit and Cancel

[bthouin]

Hi guys,

And another very simple one. I actually stumbled for the 1st time on a
situation where I'd like to have 2 buttons on a form, one to indicate
"Yes, do it" (Submit) and one to indicate "No, forget it" (Cancel),
anlogous to a windows MsgBox dialog. The "Yes, do it" is a simple submit
button. But how do I do the "Cancel" function ? How do I know that the
user has clicked Cancel and not Submit, when the form has been submitted ?

I don't want to have to resort to radio buttons... Ah, BTW, can I have,
like for radio buttons, a "submit button group" with the same name, and
I can ask for the value (text) of the button with
Request.Form("button-name") ??

Thanks for help
Bernard

Well. I just tried, and it works exactly that way. So I solved my
problem. Sorry to have bothered you...

Here is a vbScript I use to verify deleting a record, you can modify it for
submitting a record.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!-- This function allows the user to confirm deleting this record before
deleting it SK 1/17/05 -->
Function form1_onSubmit
If Msgbox("Are you sure you want to delete this sub-title?", vbYesNo +
vbExclamation) = vbNo Then
form1_onSubmit = False
End If
End Function
</SCRIPT>

But if you are just using a simple button next to your submit button that says
cancel, then why don't you just change the button from a submit button to none
and place the behavior "onclick" go to URL... or something like this.
