Set a form's action attribute when submitting?

Question

How do I change a form\'s action attribute right after clicking the submit button?

Answer 1

You can do that on javascript side .

<input type="submit" value="Send It!" onClick="return ActionDeterminator();">

When clicked, the JavaScript function ActionDeterminator() determines the alternate action URL. Example code.

function ActionDeterminator() {
  if(document.myform.reason[0].checked == true) {
    document.myform.action = 'http://google.com';
  }
  if(document.myform.reason[1].checked == true) {
    document.myform.action = 'http://microsoft.com';
    document.myform.method = 'get';
  }
  if(document.myform.reason[2].checked == true) {
    document.myform.action = 'http://yahoo.com';
  }
  return true;
}
