Add cancel button to a form
Wed, 06/17/2009 - 04:37
Some times is uselful to have another button like a "cancel" in a form so this is what you have to add to a form:
$form['cancel'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#attributes' => array('onClick' => 'doSomething("value"); return false;'),
'#value' => t('Cancel'),
);
'#type' => 'button',
'#attributes' => array('onClick' => 'doSomething("value"); return false;'),
'#value' => t('Cancel'),
);

javascript is one way to do it...
It's cleaner to do this without getting javascript involved:
$form['cancel'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#value' => t('cancel'),
'#executes_submit_callback' => TRUE,
'#submit' = array('mymodule_form_cancel'),
);

Then in mymodule_form_cancel() you can use drupal_goto() to send the user to a landing page, or do whatever you want.
