JAVASCRIPT :conditional cgi script calling on form submit
Is there a way using javascript (or otherwise) one could have a form
such that a different script is called depending on some of the
variables used.
Just for example, if a person selects 'member' from a dropdown menu,,
the form calls perl script 1 and if the person selects 'guest', the
form calls php script 2.Hello myq-ga
Thank-you for your question.
This can be achieved by using the following code.
First of all you need the form on your page, it should be something like this:
Notice, the name of the form and the onSubmit parameter. This calls
the submitForm javascript function when the form is submitted. One
parameter, the value of the dropdown box, is submitted to the
javascript function when the form is submitted.
The javascript to redirect you to another script would be done like
this and should be placed in the section of your page:
Basically, this says if the value submitted (choice - which comes from
the dropdown box on the form) is equal to 1 then submit it to
"member.html" otherwise it goes to "guest.html". Hopefully you should
be able to edit this easily for your own use.
If you have any questions on this subject please ask for clarification
and I will do my best to respond swiftly.Great! fast work!
which browsers (main) and versions will this work on and which will it NOT work on?Hi myq-ga
This should work on any browser that has javascript enabled as nothing
really browser-specific is being performed. It obviously will NOT
work on any browser that has javascript disabled.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
