Menu
I have many forms like the following on the page. Now I want change the form action based on which submit button the user clicked (and of course submit the form)
<form action="/shop/products.php" data-ajax="false" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input name="submit" class="obutn" type="submit" value="Order" />
<input name="submit" class="oEbutn" type="submit" value="Extras" />
</div>
</form>
I tried with
$(".obtn").click(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().attr("action", "/shop/products.php");
});
$(".oEbtn").click(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().attr("action", "/shop/extras.php");
});
but the form is always submited to products.php. Can you tell me what's wrong?

The plain HTML way is to put it in a <form> wherein you specify the desired target URL in the action attribute. If necessary, set CSS display: inline; on the form to keep it in the flow with the surrounding text. Instead of <input type="submit"> in above example, you can also use <button type="submit"> .
Let's learn the steps of performing multiple actions with multiple buttons in a single HTML form: Create a form with method 'post' and set the value of the action attribute to a default URL where you want to send the form data. Create the input fields inside the as per your concern. Create a button with type submit.
Instead of setting the action attribute on the form itself, consider setting formaction attribute on each individual input element.

<form data-ajax="false" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input formaction="/shop/products.php"
name="submit" class="obutn" type="submit" value="Order" />
<input formaction="/shop/extras.php"
name="submit" class="oEbutn" type="submit" value="Extras" />
</div>
</form>
