submit 1 form to 2 servers or 2 forms to 2 server (1 form each) on 1 submit

  1. Default submit 1 form to 2 servers or 2 forms to 2 server (1 form each) on 1 submit

    Hi,

    I want to submit some data to 2 servers when user clicks a submit
    button.

    So I tried creating a hidden form and on submit, I called a java
    script function which submits the hidden form first and then the other
    form. But when hidden form is submitted, then control does not go back
    to next submit and so nothing happens on 2nd server.

    I am feeling that java script should be able to do this and I am doing
    something incorrectly. Can you please suggest how can I solve this?

    That should work.

    Post the code you're using. What response do you expect from the 2nd
    server?
    What browser are you trying it on? Are you testing via the file or
    http specifier?

    Here is the relevant code

    function submitForms()
    {
    document.form1.limit.value = document.form2.amountLimit.value
    document.form1.submit()
    document.form2.submit()
    }

    Here first form1 is expected to update limit value in database and 2nd
    server is a payment gateway and is expected to take control.

    I am trying it using firefox, and will try it with IE today and let u
    know my observations.

    Not sure whether I got your last question or not, but I guess I am
    testing using http specifier.

  4. Default Re: submit 1 form to 2 servers or 2 forms to 2 server (1 form each) on 1 submit

    Acutally here the problem is first server on form1 submit is sending
    an empty html file and that's why nothing happens.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
    charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>

    I have tried with IE as well and there also its the same problem.

    Any ideas how can i fix this?
