turning links into buttons

muratisik

Hello,
I am newbei to webdesgin with php and javascript. What I want to ask may be more related to javascript but I thought I may ask it here since maybe some of you have encountered this problem as you worked with php.

My goal is to make a web page with two frames. One has buttons and the other has a php code. If these buttons were on the same page as the php code they would be like:

However I want to have these buttons on the other frame, thus control the php code from the other frame. When this button is pressed the php code page will reload and because of if(isset(HTTP_POST_VARS["full"]) some other operation will take place in the php code, which has no importance for me at the moment.
I learn how to do this with links. Link targets something like phppage.php?full=go
How do I do it with button?

Thanks in advance....

make a Javascript function

function doPost(){
  document.frames['framename'].location.href = 'frame2page.php?full='+document.forms['formname'].full.value
  return false
}

then on your submit button

<input type="submit" onsubmit="return doPost()" ... >

or something like that as an onsubmit event on the button. And no it's not a PHP question. There are probably lots of Javascript forums about 😉

Thamk you.
Interestingly among many forums I asked this question only this one was a pure php one, the rest being javascript ones and I only got an answer here🙂
