I need to execute some code AFTER I execute a submit form command.

Is this possible?

In my code below, you can see that the submit button is just a button and not a true submit button. I do this so I can edit my fields for content. I need to execute extra code after the frmOpponents.submit line executes.

thanks for your help!

here's my code:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::

<form name="frmOpponents" method="post" action="addOpponents.asp">

<table width="544" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr><td class="body" width="168">Opponent Team Name:</td>
  <td width="356"> <input name="txtOpponentName" type="text" id="txtOpponentName" size=55 maxlength=50 value=<% response.write strOpponentName%>></td></tr>
 <tr align="center"><td align="left">&nbsp; </td>
<td align="left"> <input type="button" name="cmdReturn" value="Return">
<input type="reset" name="cmdReset" value="Reset">
<input type="button" name="cmdSubmit" value="Submit">
                                    </td>
                                  </tr>
                                </table>
                                <br>
                              </form>

</html>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
Sub cmdSubmit_onclick()
if document.frmOpponents.txtOpponentName.value = "" then
    msgbox "Please enter a valid name.",vbCritical,strWebPageName
    document.frmOpponents.txtOpponentName.focus
    exit sub
end if

frmOpponents.submit

End Sub

</SCRIPT>

Hey Sal,

What could you possibly want to do before the page changes that you couldn't do before the submit or after the change?

Just wondering...

There are only two stupid questions: the one you don't ask, and the one you ask more than once ;)

Hey,

Why not do whatever else you need to do then submit the form? Otherwise, add code to do the extra stuff in the addOpponents.asp page. I don't think you will be able to access it. There you can check the Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") for the name of the referring page. When this page, then perform this action.

I'm in the process of demoing wysiwyg software.

This software executes code on standard form submission like this:

code snipet from the form:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
<form action="blablabla..." name="frmMain" onSubmit="eWebEditProCopyValue();" method="POST">

javascript executed upon form submission:::::::::::::::::::::
<script language="JavaScript">
 function eWebEditProCopyValue() {
    document.frmMain.TextHTML1.value = document.frmMain.eWebEditPro1.TextHTML;
 }
</script>

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
the above code uses a submit button of type submit.

all of my code uses a submit button of type "button". I do this so I can check for errors and pop up an error message; however, if there's no error message, I can simply execute "frmOpponents.submit".

you can deny a submit even by using a <input type=submit> ... herez how you might do it ...

<input type=submit onClick="anyFunction()">

and herez the javascript part...

function anyFunction()
{
