You must close each form with </form> and make sure that one form is not within another.

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <body>
  3. <form method="post" name="test">
  4. <input type="button" name="button1" value="login" onClick="javascript: 
  5.  
  6. document.test.action='login.php';document.test.submit();"><input type="button" name="button2" value="Register" 
  7.  
  8. onClick="javascript: document.test.action='register.php';document.test.submit();">
  9. </form>
  10. </body>
  11. </html>

You can do it this way.

And if the user has javascript turned off? Nothing happens, not good.

Your are far better to structure you page in such a way as to not depend on javascript.

Most login/register pages have form inputs for username and password for registered members, and a simple linked button to the registration page if the user is not registered:


PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <body>
  3. <form method="post" name="test" action='welcome.php';>
  4. <input type="submit" name="button1" value="login"><a href="register.php"><input type="button" name="button2" value="Register"></a>
  5. </form>
  6. </body>
  7. </html>

If javascript is disabled, even the form validation/ajax wouldn't work.

What Ajax? A well written script will function without either javascript or Ajax. A good example: http://holyculturedownload.com/

This is a heavily Ajaxed site. Turn off javascript and it is still functional - this allows it to have Google results like this and for users to still browse the site.

A form should not rely only on javascript for validation - the PHP side should also check the $_POST data.

That unfortunately, didn't work in FF2 when I disabled javascript. Click on the "Listen" button to test. Strangely, even gmail's "send" button didn't work when I disabled javascript.

Yes, ofcourse.

Now that is pedantic... the "listen" button is clearly a javascript/Ajax control. The point was that the SITE functions without javascript for the purpose of search engine indexing (which it does very well).... I dont believe that Googlebot listens to music

I think you will find that the signup page functions quite fine without Javascript (it does have it).


Similarly, forms should be designed not to be dependent on Javascript to accomplish their purpose. That Gmail fails for something so fundamental is surprising, but not acceptable.
