Buttons to save data

Hi,

I am trying to create a "cancel", "save and continue editing" and "save and exit" button on a custom front-end user control panel I am designing for CMS Builder.

I have used the following code and it works but it's not very elegant:

                    <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="button button-red"><span onclick="window.location.href='./dashboard.php';">CANCEL</span></a>
                    <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="button button-green"><span onclick="document.getElementById('hid').value='save';document.getElementById('hid2').value='exit';form1.submit();">SAVE &amp; EXIT</span></a>
                    <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="button button-green"><span onclick="document.getElementById('hid').value='save';document.getElementById('hid2').value='stay';form1.submit();">SAVE & CONTINUE EDITING</span></a>

The problem is that when the user clicks the "save and continue editing" button, the page reloads, displays the old data and then reloads again to display the newly saved data.

Ideally when the button is clicked the page will just reload the once and display the new data.

I would be grateful if anyone could help me improve this.

Thank you,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Can you provide some extra information on how you are setting this up?  Can you show code that handles the different values for "hid2"?

Let me know and I can take a look.

Thanks
