Problems with form submition

  #1  
Apr 3rd, 2008
Hi there

I have a form that I'm trying to submit but it just doesn't want to play nice.

The form i have has 2 submit buttons. One processes php code that updates info in a DB and the other deletes the info in the DB. The problem is that I have a popup asking for confirmation on the deleting and when I click ok nothing happens. All I need to know is how to submit my form using javascript so that it processes the PHP code to delete the DB entry.

form tag and delete button

<form name="formname" id="formname" method="post"  action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" onSubmit="return checkWholeForm(this);">

<input onclick=\"confDelete()\" type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete">

confirmation popup

  6. 		document.formname.submit();
  7. 		return true;
  8. 	}
  9. }
  10. //-->
  11. </script>
