Delete.... Link not a submit button

[romio]

In the past i used to delete though the use of a form and a submit button,
[code]
$find = "SELECT * FROM countries order by ID";
$row= mysql_query($find);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($row);

if(isset($_POST["delete"]))
{
    for($i=0;$i<$num_rows;$i++)
    {
        $cb = $_POST['cb'];
        $delete_records = $cb[$i];
        $sql = "DELETE FROM countries WHERE ID=$delete_records";
        $result = mysql_query($sql);
    }
}
mysql_close();
[/code]
[code]
<td width='25'  class='lign_3'><input type=checkbox name=cb[] value=$id></td>
[/code]
But now i need to use a link instead of a submit button, How can I do that?

What exactly does the check box do? If it confirms it then just make one link goto delete.php?confirm=yes and go isset($_GET['confirm']).

you can try using javascript

formname.submit()

Basically i am listing some rows from my database, next to each record the checkbox appear, if that check box is selected and the user clicks on the delete link then all checkboxes must be deleted....

[code]
            while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query_posts))
            {
                $name = $row['name'];
                $email = $row['email'];
                $message = $row['message'];
                $id = $row['user_id'];
                $length = 27;
                
                    if (strlen($message) <= $length)
                    {
                        $message = $message;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                    $message = substr($message, 0, $length) . "..";
                    }
                
                echo "<tr>
                        <td width='25'  class='lign_3'><input type=checkbox name=cb[] value=$id></td>
                        <td width='120' class='lign_3'>&nbsp;$current_date</td>
                        <td width='150' class='lign_4'>&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:popUp('popup.php?&id=$id')\" class='links'>$message</a></td>
                        <td width='80'  class='lign_3'>$name</a></td>
                        <td width='100' class='lign_3'>&nbsp;201.201.201.201</td>
                        <td width='45'  class='lign_3'>P</td>
                        <td width='45'  class='lign_3'>&nbsp;<a href='admin.php?select=7&id=$id' class='links'><img src='template/images/edit.gif' border='0' title='Edit Post'></a></td>
                    </tr>";
            }
