Hi All,

I want to know whether is it possible to have two buttons in a single form, which hits two different servlets.
I have googled about it and some of the solution says is it possible by giving form_name.action in a javascript function. I tried doing this but dint succeed.

function doSumthing(){
document.formName.action='servletPath';
}

Also if somebody could tell me what is the servlet path.

If somebody could help me on the same.

Thanks in advance,
Kejal

create two form tags and put the action attribute on each of those tags

        <FORM NAME="form1" ACTION="default.jsp" METHOD="POST">
            <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="buttonName">
            <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Button 1" ONCLICK="button1()">
            <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Button 2" ONCLICK="button2()">
        </FORM>

        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
