Mod-Jay Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Is it posible to put a submit button somewhere out of a form and still use that submit button with the form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRyan Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah, using some JavaScript and giving the form a name for example: <form name="myform" action="handle-data.php" method="POST"> Search: <input type='text' name='query' /> </form> <input type="button" onClick="document.myform.submit();" value="Search"> Regards, PaulRyan.

Mod-Jay Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks also, i have a search for online webpages, it searched everything on a page instantly and shows up like you would do ctrl+f, is there a way i can make the screen move with the highlighted words?

PaulRyan Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Quite possibly, but I'm not 100% sure on that, have a search on Google for it, you may find it there buddy. Regards, PaulRyan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod-Jay Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Curious how would i put a text box outside of a form and still use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRyan Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'm curious as to why you'd want to do that? But yeah, I'm sure you do something like that, maybes have a hidden field in the form and when you click submit, call a Javascript function to populate the hidden field with the value of the text box.

Mod-Jay Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 im designing something that uses 5 different forms, the text box is in the form and is using a line break when it ends, so if i removed the form and put it somewhere else all id have to do it work the the inputs and make the design alot better.
