Javascript Submit

Hi I have the following script in my form 

function pdf() {
var frm = document.getElementById("form1");
frm.action = "http://www.abbysoft.co.uk/index.php";
frm.target="_blank"
frm.submit()
}

this is called from the following in my form <input class="buttn" type="button" value="Test" onclick="pdf()"

The code work up to the frm.submit() but it will not submit

Can anyone offer any advice please ?

  • this is a better approach but Darin Dimitrov is right about the syntax error. Also he should just return true in pdf() instead of submiting and returning false shouldn't he? Commented Mar 28, 2010 at 13:23
  • Is he submiting the same form? Commented Mar 28, 2010 at 13:32
  • Its very difficult to tell what is actually being suggested here, but it looks like it boils down to "Use onsubmit instead of onclick" — that won't solve the problem, and likely wouldn't fit the situation which looks like wanting to submit to a different address if a particular button is clicked.
