Button elements in a form

[rdiana]

Dear friends,
I'd like to assemble a form with some buttons, each of them with a different function. To this purpose, I'd like to use the button element plugin and not the default buttons (apply, save...).
Here my questions:

1. I'd like to associate the execution of a php code (e.g. to launch a query in the database) on the click of a button: where can I write the php code in the button-plugin?
2. let's suppose we have two or more buttons in the form: how can I distinguish, in the php code, which of them has been pressed?

Cheers,
Roberto

You'll need to use the 'user ajax' method. See ./components/com_fabrik/user_ajax_example.php for details.

To distinguish between buttons, you'd probably just provide an argument to your userAjax call which you would set in the JS function that calls the AJAX.

Dear Hugh,
thank you for your suggestion, I'll try this approch soon.
Another question: can I attach a css file to change the button behaviour (hover, active...)? How could I do?

Best regards,

Roberto
