Dear kudose,

It depends on when you want it called.

If you want it to be called on an action, you will need to create a javascript function for it.

stolzyboy

how do you want to submit it, with a link, on some other action, how?

in a link you can do something like:

onclick="submitform();"

and have a JS function like

function submitform(){
document.formnamehere.submit();
}

thsi may not fully function as it's just from memory, but it'll get you in the right direction
