How bypass form onsubmit when cancel

[bam]

I have an form onsumbit that validates all required fields before submitting the information to the Action and database insert. But when the user submts a cancel button I want to ignore the validation of required fields and just initiate the cancel process. I am new to this process an not sure how to implement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming your cancel button is actually another submit button, the following should do the trick.


<input type="submit" value="Cancel" onclick="this.form.onsubmit=null; return true;" />

you could initialize a variable then change the value depending on the button pressed... in your validate routine, check against the variable.
