Is there a way to specify two actions on a single form.

[Dan]

You can just perform the 1st action and when done, change the form's
action and resubmit it with some timing in between, ->


<form action="/cgi/cheese.pl">

<input type="button" value="Submit this darned thing"
onClick="submitTwo(this.form)">

</form>


function submitTwo(theForm)
{
theForm.submit();
setTimeout('theForm.action=\'\/cgi\/macaroni.pl\'',3000); // waits 3secs
before changing the .action property, so the codes don't conflict
setTimeout('theForm.submit()',5000; // 2secs after the .action property
has been changed, it submits it

}

Hello,
I need some help with forms. I need to perform two actions when the html
form is submitted,
1. send the form data to database (done by javascript)
2. e-mail the form data (done by a cgi script)

Is there a way I can have the form perform these two actions with a single
click on the submit button.?

Thanks for the help.
