How to Handle more than one submit button in single form?

Hi
I have one PHP file which contains one Form. In this form there are two Submit type Buttons
<input type="submit" name="edit" value="save">
<input type="submit" name="cancel" value="cancel">
<form name="myform" onsubmit="return validate()">

My problem is : When i m trying to use Javascript onsubmit event of a form it confused due to two submit buttons and onsubmit of any button(save or cancel) it runs Javascript. Generally it should not run on cancel button.

Please provide solution as soon as possible.

thanks in advance.

what should happen on cancel?
why not make cancel a normal button?

 

On cancel ,redirect to another php page

 

why u need cancel button ? u can use type=reset instead

 

then you can simply change action of the form and submit it OR use location.href

 

Make the second button normal and write javscript redirection code on onclick event to redirect on another page. see example below.

<input type="submit" name="edit" value="save">
<input type="button" name="cancel" value="cancel" onclick="javascript:window.location='http://redirectedurl.com'">

This should solve your issue.

 

Oh, It's working!
thanks for the solution.
