Submit Button

[ryclem]

This is a combination PHP, HTML and Java question, but here goes:

I have the following button, that I don't want to follow the form action...this works fine...

<input type="button" value="Delete User!" OnClick="window.location='deluser.php'">

but it is not passing any variables....the variable that I would like to pass is (using php):

<input type="hidden" name="selectbox" value="<? print "$selectbox"; ?>">

any ideas?

use FORM:
<FORM action="deluser.php" method="post">

then hidden:
<input type="hidden" name="selectbox" value="<? print "$selectbox"; ?>">

then a submit, not a button:
(submits are buttons that submit forms)
<input type="submit" value="Delete User!">

and of course:
</FORM>

There you go... That should work.

Oops, I forgot to mention that I am trying to do a different action than the form...I already have a form going and I am trying to make this "button" do a different action that is why I made it a button...

Basically, I was trying to use java script to break out of the form action (which is no problem) but the issue is trying to pass the php $variable.

Well, You could use a query string:

<INPUT type="button" value="Delete User!" OnClick="window.location='deluser.php?selectbox=<? print "$selectbox"; ?>'">

That would be the most obvious solution (to me at least.)
