submit a different form than action

[popeye]

How can I submit a form using a <a href='xxxxx'>Submit</a> (be able to retrieve its values using "POST") and load a different page other the one that was indicated in the “action” parameter of the form?
Thanks

To submit a form through a text use something like:

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:document.form_name.submit();">Submit</a>

You can change the form's action via javascript.
But.... what are you trying to do ?

It is not that I want to submit the form only. It is that I want to submit the form and then load a different page than the one set in the action="xxxx.php".

But will the page set in the form's action be the submition destination as same ?
You can use the form's onsubmit method.

Example:

Code: Select all

<form method="post" action="index.php" onsubmit="javascript:window.open('http://www.test.com/test.php','mywindow');">
....

Try this:

Code: Select all

<a href = "JavaScript: document.form_name.action='desired_target.php'; document.form_name.submit()">Link</a>
