    <p>You can use JavaScript to modify the form based on which button is clicked, or you can check server side (i.e. using PHP) which button was clicked and act accordingly.</p> <p>A submit-button is a form-input just like any other, i.e. you can give it a name and a value, which you can check for server side.</p> <p>On client side (i.e. using JavaScript) you would bind a handler to the button's click-event, modify the form's action-attribute and submit it to the new address.</p> <p>Here's a client side example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Form submit test&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form action="baz.html" method="post"&gt; &lt;input id="bar" type="submit" class="button" value="bar.html" name="" /&gt; &lt;input id="foo" type="submit" class="button" value="foo.html" name="" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;script&gt; // Find the two buttons from the DOM and assign them to separate variables var barBtn = document.getElementById('bar'), fooBtn = document.getElementById('foo'); // Click-handler for the buttons. // NB! For this code to work as intended, it needs to run // in the context of the button, otherwise, the this-keyword // will not resolve correctly and this will result in an error // NB2! This code also requires that a button's value will be // the desired action handler. Usually you would probably not // do this, but use the button's name/value to lookup the // correct form action. function modifyAction(e) { this.form.action = this.value; } // Bind an event handler to an object // NB! This is not code you should use in production function bindEvent(target, event, callback) { if (target.addEventListener) { target.addEventListener(event, callback, false); } else if (target.attachEvent) { target.attachEvent('on' + event, callback); } } // Delegate creates a wrapping closure which binds the // original function's context to an object, i.e. ensuring // the this-keyword always refers to the same object when // the returned function is invoked. function delegate(context, method) { return function () { return method.apply(context, arguments); } } // Bind the click-event of the barBtb, and handle it // with the modifyAction-function bound to the barBtn. // I.e. run the modifyAction function, with the this-keyword // bound to barBtn bindEvent(barBtn, 'click', delegate(barBtn, modifyAction)); // Same as above for fooBtn bindEvent(fooBtn, 'click', delegate(fooBtn, modifyAction)); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Just for sake of completeness, here's a jQuery-example of the same:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="baz.html" method="post"&gt; &lt;input id="bar" type="submit" class="button" value="bar.html" name="" /&gt; &lt;input id="foo" type="submit" class="button" value="foo.html" name="" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;script&gt; // Jquery event-handlers are automatically bound to // the element selected, so using "this" is safe function modifyAction(e) { this.form.action = this.value; } // Bind the click-event on all input with type=submit $("input[type=submit]").click(modifyAction); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COThanks, the problem is that I need the new Submit button to POST to two different pages. If I have the form POST to just one page and then check the value. I will lose the POST data when the script redirects to appropriate page?

    2. COOn a redirect, you will lose the POST data, yes, but leveraging PHP:s `include` enables you to bring the code in where and when you need it and afterwards you can redirect accordingly.

    3. COHi @nikc , any chance you could link me to some info to explain the Javascript code. I understand the bit at the start assigning two variables for each submit button. However the rest I do not understand

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
