CC 2.05, vbscript(ASP) and Templates.
I'm trying to submit a record form by a link, then go to the URL of the
link.
In the Before Show Event of the record form, I have a correctly working
label
(set to HTML) to act as the link thus..
fldProjMileStone = "<a href = 'MajorMile.asp?ProjectId="& fldprojectID &
"'>Milestones</a>"
If client activates the link, they wish to auto update the current form
without need to hit update button first.
I've tried this but no success yet.
Form name is 'initiatives', Destination page is MajorMile.asp.
string1 ="<a href = 'MajorMile.asp?ProjectId="& fldprojectID & "'"
string2 = " onclick= " & """document.Initiatives.FormAction.value =
'update';"
string3 =" document.initiatives.submit()" & """"
string4 = ">Milestones</a>"
fldProjMilestone = string1 & string2 & string3 & string4
Clues appreciated as to how can I update the form from the link?
TIA

Technically speaking, you can't.
Having said that, there are ways to deal around the issue. For example, you
can simulate that by using javascript. In the following example, we change
the form's action (the default target) to the link's target, and submit the
form. Of course, you must add code to the page to do the actual update.
Another variant is to have a hidden field in the form, change its value
using the same technique, and have the form processor to redirect the page
to the value of the hidden field.
<form name="theform" method="post" action="dafaultpage.asp">
<input type="text" name="thefield" value="">
</form>
<a href="testform.asp?some=value"
onclick="document.theform.action=this.href;document.theform.submit();return
false">This is a link</a>
OR
<form name="theform" method="post" action="dafaultpage.asp">
<input type="text" name="thefield" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="">
</form>
<a href="testform.asp?some=value"
onclick="document.theform.redirect_to=this.href;document.theform.submit();re
turn false">This is a link</a>

Thanks Sixto,
I note your examples have the link outside the form tags; whereas my
non-functioning 'autoupdate' link is inside the form tags.
I'll look at shifting the link outside the form tags in the form footer
area.
Here's hoping
