I have 1 form with 2 submit buttons

I am trying to set-up a form that has 2 buttons, accept and deny. It doesn't seem to be working. Any thoughts on what I should fix?

   <form name="iform" method="post" onsubmit="" onreset="" enctype="multipart/form-data"    action="formapprovedeny" class="iform">

Form content here. 

   <input type="button" onclick="submitForm('html_form_approve.php')"      class="submit_button" value="Approved" name="Approved" />
   <input type="button" class="submit_button" onclick="submitForm('html_form_deny.php')" value="Denied" name="Denied" />


   </form>

Here is the script part.

     <script>
function submitForm(action)
{
    document.getElementById('formapprovedeny').action = action;
    document.getElementById('formapprovedeny').submit();
}
  </script>

You have a problem with your naming.

You try to get the form by it's id, but it is not set. It's name is.

You should use either getElementByName or give your form an id.

Your Javscript is trying to submit a form with an id of formapprovedeny but your form does not have an id. Try adding id="formapprovedeny" to your form

It should id="formapprovedeny" not action="formapprovedeny"

<form name="iform" method="post" onsubmit="" onreset="" enctype="multipart/form-data"    id="formapprovedeny" class="iform">

What do you want to achieve using the 2 buttons? What do you expect? http://jsfiddle.net/xaW5P/ 

<script>
function submitForm(action)
{
    alert('hello submitForm '+action);
    document.getElementById('formapprovedeny').action = action;
    document.getElementById('formapprovedeny').submit();
}
  </script>

if I use your code (added an alert) this seems to work...whatever it should be doing ;)

The type of button must be 'submit' and the value whatever you want, look this:

<input type="submit" class="submit_button" value="Approved" name="Approved" />
<input type="submit" class="submit_button" value="Denied" name="Denied" />
