Javascript onclick action in button with two functions

Question

Why this script cannot send the value in the button with onclick action simple javascript

<input type="submit" onclick="(document.getElementById('act').value='delete_user')&&(document.getElementById('uid').value='1')" >

But this script worked

<input type="submit" onclick="(document.getElementById('act').value='delete_user')>

How make both values get work ?

does "(document.getElementById('uid').value='1')" also work on its own? incidentally aren't you missing a " just before > in the example you say worked? — Miltos Kokkonidis

This should work:

<input type="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('act').value='delete_user';document.getElementById('uid').value='1'; " >

If it does not, please check if there is an input with id (not name) uid and that the following also works.

<input type="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('uid').value='1'; " >

Use this in the html <input type="submit" onclick="my_function();">

and add in the javascript part:

function my_function(){
    document.getElementById('act').value='delete_user';
    document.getElementById('uid').value='1';
}

True,but I believe this should also work <input type="submit" onclick="my_function1();my_function2();"> if he wants to call two functions when submit is clicked.

You are using &&, which is used for validation purpose.

Correct code is :

<input type="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('act').value='delete_user';document.getElementById('uid').value='1'" >
