Lots of you are familiar with that makes a neat submit button that submits all data in a ''form'' to client/Topic().

However, is there anyway to get ''submit'' to work WITHOUT using a ''Button''? Such as, using a hyperlink that will act the same as submit?

I was wondering the same thing also, becasue I was wanting to use an image submit button on a choices popup window of a game I was working on, but I couldn't figure out how to use something other than a normal submit button.

I'd like to know that also.

Yea but a hyperlink can go around an image, so pretty much it would be like the same thing, it's just i was mentioning that it could be used with an image also, lol.

Then wouldn't you have to enclose it in...

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
</SCRIPT>


tags?

I understand what you're talking about, but there are different cases in which you must take that action. And this is not one of those cases.

You mean like this?

Or you could style the button,

<code><input type="submit" id="submitB" value="go"> #submitB{ border:none; padding:0; margin:0; font-size:xx-small; text-decoration:underline; color:blue; background-color:transparent; } </code>

Ah nvm. The javascript worked. Finally. Forgot to use the </select> tag.

Thank god. Thanks guys. Umm...how can I get a REF From the submit button? What i mean is, say i wanted to do something like this

    for(var/a in list1)
        HTML+={"
        <a href="#[a]" src=[a] name="[a]" id="[a]" value="[a]" onClick="document.MyForm1.submit();">[a]</a><br>                    "}


How could i make it make my ''choice'' variable to be whatever I clicked in the list of hyperlinks?

There is one problem with Javascript not everyone has it enabled the majority of people do, but a lot of people including i have it turned off it is quite evil.

Hmmm...

Everytime my window pops up, it's x axis is decreased by a couple of pixels. While it may not be such a problem, after a while the window goes off the screen if it appeared enough times o_O
