Now w/o entering value it is working.If users enters it is getting into db.

I tried all js scripts but still not working

Why redirec? Should cancel work as canceling the actual action and getting back to previous one? I thing that history.back() should be suffcient in js. Or window.close() if the form is opened in new window. But to make this happend you should make cancel a regular button, not a submit.

Something like this:<input type="button" ... value="Cancel" onclick="history.back();" />

Try this and change redirectpage to your redirectpage.

<input type="button" value="cancel" onClick="document.location.href='http://www.redirectpage.com';" />

You should emphasize the default (submit) action versus the secondary one (cancel). Make submit a regular submit button, cancel a link to the previous page.

whenever you have an <input type="submit"> think of this as just another field value you can check against in your code. e.g. try this:

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="GET">
<input type="submit" name="foo" value="submit">
<input type="submit" name="foo" value="cancel">
</form> 

<?php 
//validation removed..

if ($_GET['foo'] == 'submit')
{

//do snazzy stuff
print('submit pressed')

}

if ($_GET['foo']) == 'cancel')
{

//do snazzy stuff
print('cancel pressed')



}


?>

hope this helps?
