[PHP] anchor inside form

2009-08-25 Thread leledumbo

If I have an anchor inside form, how can I send form using the anchor without
displaying target url? I've tried the code below but IE says that this.form
is null or empty and Firefox does nothing.

form action=somewhere.php method=get
# Pick me 
/form

You can only send the form from a link (an anchor is a named point in a
page that also uses the a tag) using Javascript. Most people will tell
you this is a bad idea, as you are then relying on the end user to both
have Javascript available _and_ have it switched on (and that they are
not sitting behind a corporate firewall that strips out Javascript which
some do apparently)

Why not just use another submit button? If you don't like the look of a
regular submit, then use an input type=image/ button instead, as
these act like submit buttons for the most part. You can have as many
submit buttons on a form that you like, and if you give them unique
names, you will know which one has been clicked.

 Why not just use another submit button?

Because it's actually an entry in a tree-like menu. I need to send
parameters via get method, and code above is one way I can think of.

You can use javascript behind a button or image or link to submit the form
from anywhere in your html page. You don't need the anchor but you do need a
form name. Something like:

  href=javascript:document.FormName.submit();

And all it takes for that to break is for someone to turn off
Javascript...
