I have a form with an action like the following:
<form action="edit.php" method="post">
.
.
<button class="btn btn-success" name="submit_mult" type="submit">Edit</button>
</form>
Initially, I used this form for the first button, and now I want to use the same form for a second button, but this time it is for deletion. However, since the current form action is set to "edit.php", I need to use formaction="delete.php". This overrides the action attribute of the form when you click on that button.
The issue is that I want the second button to be displayed outside of the form, not inside. I tried to figure out how to make this work...
Here is what I wrote:
<div id="delete"><button class="btn btn-success" formaction="Multi_Edit/delete.php" name="submit_mult" type="submit">Delete</button></div>
Unfortunately, it's not working when I place this button outside of the form, but it works fine when it's inside the form.
How can I solve this so that the button works outside of the form with formaction="delete.php"? If this can be achieved using jQuery, how would I write that in jQuery!
