Multiple Submit buttons

    I have a multi page form that the user will be entering. I have it set up and it works. But I wanted to give them the option to save the record after the first screen instead of continuing. This way they can enter multiple beginning of the records. So the first screen would have the continue to next screen button and the additional one that would just say save and exit. I am using a custom signup to add the input button that takes me to the thank you page, thinking this would complete the session. But it does not work that way. It will go to the page but does not show the message that it was added and it does not add the record. What am I missing? How can I skip to the end and enter the record? Here is how I have added the button.
    <input type=”button” value=”Save and Exit” onclick=”location=’https://otga.org/scorekeepertky'&#8221; />

    Also, I keep reading that we can add a class to the button… any additional info on that would help. How do I find the class for the submit-button? Where is the class button-primary? I’m probably not speaking the correct terms.
    Thanks so much.

    What is happening with your custom template is that your button to save and start another doesn’t submit the form before going to the other page.

    You can do this with javascript: what you need to do is alter the value of the “thanks_page” hidden field in the form to point to your page that completes the submission, then submit the form (also with javascript).

    As to the button class, there is a function in the template the prints the button:

    $this->print_submit_button('button-primary');

    That gives it the class ‘button_primary’ you can change that to whatever class name or names you want on the button.
