Hi,
I have a single jsp wherein there is a single submit button which does all the validations when the form is submitted and a normal button which checks for just 2 validations and depending on that queries the database to get the rest of the results.Problem i am facing is Submit buttons functions are working fine but i am not able to code the normal button functons. Please refer the code.how should i make the normal button validate the first 2 fields and then go forward to act as a submit button?
