Menu
I am having a form like this
<form name="test" action="test/test_new" />
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="search"/>
<input type="button" value="download"/>
I need a click even for download button. Eg. If i click download it should submit as text/text_new.xls instead of text/text_new. How can i do it.

In javascript onclick event , you can use form. submit() method to submit form. You can perform submit action by, submit button, by clicking on hyperlink, button and image tag etc. You can also perform javascript form submission by form attributes like id, name, class, tag name as well.
Forms can be submitted either by clicking an explicit <input type="submit"> , <input type="image"> , or <button type="submit"> , or by pressing Enter when certain form elements have focus.
The submit event fires when the user clicks a submit button ( <button> or <input type="submit">) or presses Enter while editing a field (e.g. <input type="text">) in a form. The event is not sent to the form when calling the form. submit() method directly.
Give id to button and try this
$('#downloadButton').click(function(){
$('form[name=test]').attr('action','test/test_new.xls');
$('form[name=test]').submit();
});
