maxiscool Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 So I have a pretty simple question that is making me kind of confused.I have an HTML form setup and my goal is to generate a table from the data that is submitted by the form. Right now I have a validation function that is run "onsubmit". It checks all of the fields in the form and makes sure they are correct. What I don't understand is what do I do now that the form is validated. How do I run the function that actually does the stuff I want to do?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 You can either create the table using JavaScript, on the fly, but if you want your data to be persistent, you'll have to use a server-side language.http://w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_table.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is since "onsubmit" is being taken up by the validation function how do I call the function that creates the table?

Synook Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Just have another function that calls both: function do_submit(form) { validate(form); generate_table(form); return false;} <form onsubmit="return do_submit(this)"></form> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
