Or make it really cool with DOM:
function eventSubmit(formIndex, event)
{
var field = document.createElement('input');
field.type='hidden';
field.name="eventSubmit_do" + event;
field.value='1';
document.forms[formIndex].appendChild(field);
document.forms[formIndex].submit();
}
If you have just one form in your page, you can write
<a href="javascript:eventSubmit("0", "Bla")">Bla</a>
and this small javascript synthesizes a new hidden field and adds it
to your form in the browser. No need for lots of hidden fields.
BTW: Anyone knows a way where I have
<form name="firstform" ....> </form>
<form name="secondform" ....> </form>
in my page and can look for a form object in the page by name?
document.forms[] only allows numbers. and I cannot make
document.<formname> work where <formname> is a variable and not a
constant.
