Hello

When using html forms & FMP does FMP absolutely require a <input
type="submit" value="-NEW"> tag or can I get away with using something like
this:

<input type="button" value="-new" onClick="validate_then_submit();">

with the jscript code eventually running the document.formname.submit()
function?

Let me rephrase the question:

Is it possible to perform "add entry" actions in a FileMaker Pro database
_without_ using <input type="submit" value="-new"> ? I want to use an image
or regular button instead so I can do some javascript stuff _before_
submitting the data.

Hi Mark,

Try putting the validation call up in the <form> tag and making it an
onSubmit call and have the javascript return a true or false depending on
the result of the validation...

<form method="post" action="FMPro" onSubmit="return
validate_then_submit(whatever.you.are.validating)">
  <input ......>
  ...
  <input type="image" src="images/button.gif" value="-new">
</form>

Good luck...

Andrew

You can always use
<input type="hidden" name="-new"  value="-new">
or
<input type="image" src="..." ...>
