I have a form with two submit buttons. <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit form" /> <input type="submit" name="cancel" value="Cancel" />
On the server side I have a PHP script that ichecks if $_POST ['cancel'] has a value. If it doesn't then it runs through the form submit process. If it does have a value then it simply redirects to another page without processing the form. My problem is that if my form isn't valid then the validate plugin won't let me click the cancel button. it insists that the form is valid before either button will work. Now naturally I want the form to be validated when the submit button is triggered, but if the cancel button is triggered then the status of the form is not relevant as nothing will be done with it. I want the cancel button to submit the form regardless of whether it's valid or not. How can I do this?
