I need a Submit button to send the URL parameter 'open=1' when it is clicked.

How do I code that into the onlick event of the button?

Thanks!

Could you describe your form more? Are there multiple Submit buttons?

Many ways to do that. Here are a couple:

In the button's OnClick event (PHP) use the header() function to
redirect... header("Location:NewPage.php?open=1"); exit;

In the button's onClick event (javascript) use location to redirect...
window.location='NewPage.php?open=1'; return false;

Hi

Here is another way to do it with the onclick event in case you want to add parameters to existing ones for the submit button. This can also make the added parameters dynamic at run time.

Add this javascript function to your common javascript area.

function addParmsToForm(form,parameters){
var action;
var connector="?";
action=document.forms[form].action;
if(action.search(/\?/)!=-1){connector="&";}
action=action+connector+parameters;
document.forms[form].action=action;
return true;
}

All you need to do is in the onclick event call this function and pass the form number that the submit button you want to change is and pass all the parameters you want. The first parameter should not contain a ? or & as this function will determine which to use. however if multiple params are sent separate them by the &.

Let me know how this works for you.
