Hi,
Could anyone please tell me if there is an easy way to add a "More" button to a form which saves data to a database like a "Submit" button but then brings you back to the same page. I also have to have to have a Submit button beside it in case the user has no more data to enter.

<form action="PrecedenceForm.asp" method="post" name="ReqEnterForm">
r1 <input type="text" name="txtReq1">
r2 <input type="text" name="txtReq2">
r3 <input type="text" name="txtReq3">
r4 <input type="text" name="txtReq4">
r5 <input type="text" name="txtReq5">
<input type="submit" value="Save" name="ReqEnterSave">
<input type="submit" value="More" name="ReqEnterMore">
</form>

Precedence.Form adds the data to the database in the usual way but I just cant figure out how to get the more button to work. I have tried onclick and tried creating a second form on the same page just below explicitly for the more button but all this does is reload the page and it only saves data to the database when I click save.

I'd really appreciate any help anybody could provide.

Two submit buttons will simply redirect the user to the same page defined in the action attribute of the form element.

You will have to use two HTML forms. You say you have already tried this, though.

You could also use a small javaScript which will determine which button has been pressed.

Regards.
