[SOLVED] HTML button

[abch624]

Hi there I want to use text as a button. If you have a look at the code bellow:

<form class="form" method="post" action="newaccount.php">
		<tr>
			<td width="150">				
				<input type="text" name="newaccountname" value="New Account" tabindex="3">
			</td>
			<td align="center" width="32">	<a href="/1STA/newaccount.php">add</a>
			</td>
			<td width="41"> 	
			</td>
			<td width="41"> 	
			</td>
		</tr>	<!-- PHP BEGIN -->
	</form>

 

I want to use the <a href="/1STA/newaccount.php">add</a> as a button so that the newaccountname is passed to the newaccount.php file.

 

At the moment this is not working and just goes to the newaccount.php path but the variable is not posted.

 

Please help...

<a href="#null" onclick="document.['formname'].submit(); return false">

 

You have to give your FORM tag a Name="" also

I have changed the code as per

<form class="form" method="post" name="newaccount" action="newaccount.php">
		<tr>
			<td width="150">				
				<input type="text" name="newaccountname" tabindex="3">
			</td>
			<td align="center" width="32">	<a href="#null" onclick="document.['newaccount'].submit(); return false">add</a>
			</td>
			<td width="41"> 	
			</td>
			<td width="41"> 	
			</td>
		</tr>	<!-- PHP BEGIN -->
	</form>

When I click on the add link the url changes to http://localhost/1STA/accountadmin.php#null and nothing happens.

 

Any help....

Yours:

<form class="form" method="post" name="newaccount" action="newaccount.php">

 

Change to:

<form class="form" method="post" name="newaccount" action="newaccount.php" name="newaccount">

I changed the code to

<a href="#null" onclick="document.forms.newaccount.submit()">add</a>

 

and it works...

 

Thanks - Zahid
