SO I have a form that look similar to
<form action="test.php" id="checksub" method="post">
<div>
<select name="mydropdown">
<option value="buy">buy</option>
<option value="sell">sell</option>
</select>
</div>
autocomplete text input that triggers "checksub"
<input type="submit" id="checksub" name="checksub" style="visibility:hidden">
<input type="submit" id="newsbutton" name="newsbutton">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#newbutton').click(function() {
var newaction = "cantfinditems.php";
$("#checksub").prop("action", newaction);
$('#checksub').submit();
});
</script>
Now the submit button is hidden because the autocomplete triggers it anyway, but if the user cant find what they are looking for I want a button that says "cant find what your'e looking for?" I want this button to have a different action to the form action, ie window.location = cantfinditems.php but I also want to carry the POST data from the form ie "mydropdown". Thank you
