Java to work with PHP

phpsql_me

Hello.

I have working javascript that checks form fields to ensure the user enters value in each field.
My code used to be this (with the java working):

<form name="form1" action="appReceive.asp" method="post">

I then changed this line to post submitted info to a .php file as below, and now the javascript seems to be disabled, the form works but the JS does not seem to be working at all, all because of the one line that i changed, heres what i changed it to:

<form action="http://www.website.com/form/redirect.php" method="post">

Can anyone tell me how to get my JS back and working with my php page?

Hopefully someone can answer this for me:

how come if the "input type" is button, then the form wont submit anything when you click submit?

but if the input type is "submit" then it will submit, but then bypass all my JS field checking?

When you changed the action on the form you removed the name="form1" attribute.

Does your javascript refer to the form by name?

Yes it does... how can I get it back to working?

On my original page, the button type was "button" and the form post was "form1", I erased the "form1" which may have been wrong, but then I also had to change the input type = submit for the submit button because it wasnt working when i changed the post form line to PHP.

Any Ideas anyone?

Here is the code that was in place for the submit button, if you notice it has a input type=button not submit, but i had to change it to submit otherwise it wouldnt post the form correctly...

here was the code:

<input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="if (Validate(document.form1, 'Submit')) document.form1.submit(); ">

Can someone tell me please how to retain my JavaScript but change the input type to submit and still be able to process the Java?

I'm not sure if your questions are serious, but just in case.

Put the name="form1" back on the form element. That might fix both the javascript and the submit issues.

By the way, Javascript has nothing to do with Java, they're two unrelated languages.
