Attribute: Formaction

The formaction attribute specifies the URL of a file that will process the input control when the form is submitted. The formaction attribute overrides the action attribute of the <form> element. This formaction attribute is used with type="submit" and type="image".

This example is an HTML form with two submit buttons, each with different actions:

HTML file: Displayed by browser:
<form action="http://www.w3schools.com/html/action_page.php">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname">
<br />
<br />Last name: <input type="text" name="lname">
<br />
<br /><input type="submit" value="Submit">  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="submit" formaction="http://www.w3schools.com/html/demo_admin.asp" value="Submit as admin">
</form>
First name:

Last name:

         

This should work with all major browsers.
