submit button

[tcooper]

Can I submit a form with a submit button that is NOT located on the form?

I have tried to do this by putting the button on the page and using the following: action="document.form1.submit()"

However, I get an error that says "call to undefined function"

For various reasons (which are hard to explain), I do not want the button on the form.

Try writing a javascript function, using the properties of your form. Something like this:

function doSubmit(theForm)
{
    theForm.action = "some_file.php";
    theForm.method = "post";

theForm.submit();

return true;
}

and in your html you can put anything that can be put in an onClick event handler, so you can call your function always the user clicks it. Like:

<a href="javascript:;" onClick="return doSubmit(document.your_form)">submit</a>

O'k, let me know if this is works for you.
