document.pressed not working in Internet Explorer

[myuser]

Hi ,

I have 'document.pressed ' checking in my javascript code. Problem is it is working fine in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer. I need to make it work in both the browser.

My code is as follows :

function onSubmitForm()
{
if(document.pressed == 'Save')
{
  ....
}
if(document.pressed == 'Run')
{
 ---
}

}
<input type="submit" value = 'Save'  name='SaVE_RUn'
	onclick = "document.pressed=this.value">
<input type="submit" value = 'Run'  name='RUn'
	onclick = "document.pressed=this.value">

Please help, Thanks.

it not supposed to work in firefox either or you have not posted your code completely. why don't you try defining two functions save() and run() then call from their relative buttons

Hi ZABI,

This onSubmitForm button has been mentioned in the <form action> . So when I press any one of them , the control goes to this onSubmitForm() and there it checks which button is clicked.
So writing two functions save() and run() is not possible.
Can I not somehow check which button is clicked inside the onSubmitForm. If in the 'onclick' of those two buttons I assign value '1' to them and then in onSubmitForm() if I check document.myform.Savebutton.value ==1, something like this.

I am not able to come up with that. Please help.

Thanks.

Well ZABI, I could make that work. Now document.myform.action = "myscript.pl" is not working in IE. Here 'myform' is my form name and 'myscript.pl' is a script where I want the action to go upon submission of my form. thanks.

i assume you are trying to change the action value depending upon the button clicked. i've tested the following to work in IE9

<script>
function onSubmitForm(){
alert(myform.action);
}
</script>
<form name="myform" action="default.pl" onsubmit="onSubmitForm();" method="post">
<input type="submit" value = 'Save' name='SaVE_RUn' onclick = "myform.action='save.pl';">
<input type="submit" value = 'Run' name='RUn' onclick = "myform.action='run.pl';">
</form>
