submit a form by a link instead button?

[Anon]

Is there anyway to submit a form not using button type like <INPUT type=submit>? I want to have a link like the word "Remove" and when click on that word, it will submit the form.

As far as I know, you can't send them that way. I'm not really sure whether it will be feasible to do so by using Javascript.

this is a client side problem

within javascript you can define event handlers to do this...

<form name=form action="???.php" method="post" >

<a href="form.submit()"> whatever </a>

</form>

there may errors here buth the approach is sound ans can be generalised

but check out the forum mentioned below

within javascript you can define event handlers to do this...

<script language='javascript'>

function submitForm( passedVar1, passedVar2) {

form.hidden.var1.value = passedVar1 ;
form.hidden.var2.value = passedVar2

form.submit(); // form submission including var1 and var2

}
</script>

<form name="form" method="post" >
<a href="javascript:submitForm(var1,var2)"> whatever </a>
</form>
