Multiple Submit buttons

[dblyelhd]

I created a form with 12 submit buttons one for ech month. The pirpose of this form is to register the visiter to the mailing list that cooresponds to their birth month. No matter which button I select I alway get registered in December's mailing list (it is the last button) How do I fix this. Here is the code for the form protion of the page.

<td><form action="/cgi-bin/formmail/formmail.cgi" method="post" name="Birthday Club Form" id="Birthday Club Form">

Help would be greatly appreciated.

All your form fields are part of one gigantic form. Since each form field is repeated within the form (recipient, required, subject and redirect), the submit process only takes the last set of values for these fields. If you want the 12 submit buttons to do different things, you need to give unique names to each of the form fields.

So I would change the (recipient, required, subject and redirect), to (recipient1, required1, subject1 and redirect1) an so forth. Would I not alos have to define these in the formmail.cgi script.

Probably. I'm not familiar with that kind of script, so I couldn't help you with how to change that.

I was also thinking about another possibility after I posted. You could make separate forms to go with each submit button and have an additional field to go with each form, like "month" with a value which corresponded to the number of the month they clicked the submit button for. Then you could leave those fields exactly as they are (recipient, required, subject and redirect). Again though, someone else would need to help you with the script changes necessary to capture and process that additional field.
