Hi,

I'm changing the default log in module, and I want to have the 'Create account'-link to be a button.

I use this:

  $form['actions']['create'] = array('#type' => 'button',
    '#value' => t('Register'),
    '#submit' => array('create_redirect'),
  );

and

function create_redirect() {
  drupal_goto("/user/register");
}

but when I click that button, instead of going to /user/register it goes to /node?destination=node

@Shadowstep0705, are you trying to completely override the original submit function or add an additional handler? If the latter, you need to change your code to
$form['#submit'][] = 'create_redirect_submit';

If you are only wanting a redirect (that is you have no code before your drupal_goto()), a better option may be
$form_state['redirect'] = 'user/register';

By both of them, I get an error message, so I the URL will be /node?destination=node and in the footer there are two error messages:
Error message

Username field is required.
Password field is required.

At first I didn't see them but now I do. Ofcourse these two should be required when pressing the 'create' button

I want an additional redirect, which will be activated when clicking a second button. The main submit button will stay.

yeh you can have multiple button on a single from but if u are providing the submit handler for and element then the type of that button should be submit

What would be the point of implementing a button if you can't specify any handler for it?

its a simple concept buddy u can't submit a form on click of a element button to get the form submitted u have to specify element type as submit . in case of button u can invoke a javascript function that will submit ur fourm using javascript method submit

or else if u want to simply redirect to register page u can define anchor tag to do that rather than having a button there

I think you just need to add the following to your array:
'#executes_submit_callback' => TRUE,

Can you re-post your form code as-is right now?

OK, I had to try it out for myself to see that both the required fields and authentication validation were causing issues, so I came up with something that worked:

  $form['actions']['create'] = array(
    '#type' => 'button',
    '#value' => t('Register'),
    '#attributes' => array('onClick' => 'location.replace("/user/register"); return false;'),
  );
