Post Form Link Submit Button?

[jordan443]

I'm making a manga (Japanese comic) reading site and on the front page it shows the latest feed of new manga from another site using this code:

http://pastebin.com/dsQzbJRX

That works fine but now I want to somehow turn each link on the page into a POST form submit button that posts the name of the manga to '/description.php'

Any ideas?

If you are just asking how to make an anchor link send POST data, you can't without using Javascript. You can either use AJAX or some workaround like this:

<form method="POST" action="/description.php">
<input type="hidden" name="manga" value="value"/>
<a href="anything" onclick="this.parentNode.submit();return false">link</a>
</form>

If you have a bunch of them it would probably be better to do something like this:

<form id="theform" method="POST" action="/description.php">
<input type="hidden" name="manga" value="value"/>
</form>
<a href="anything" onclick="document.forms.theform.manga.value='something';document.forms.theform.submit();return false">link</a>
<a href="anything" onclick="document.forms.theform.manga.value='somethingelse';document.forms.theform.submit();return false">link</a>

You really should just use GET

Try applying a grid to an image.  I did this as a basic HTML project years ago.

 

You can also use anchor name with an on mouse over to slide out a menu somewhere on the screen.

How would I automatically make the value of each (different) link the same as the text in-between the <a> tags?

POF does it with:

<div style="float:left;margin-bottom: 15px;padding-left:24px;">
<a href="javascript: B('http://pics.pof.com/dating/168/51/13rv1hbww3d1ndg3vgx4zpomx289470751.2.jpg','')">
<img border="0" alt="" onmouseout="hidetrail();" onmouseover="showtrail('http://pics.plentyoffish.com/dating/168/51/13rv1hbww3d1ndg3vgx4zpomx289470751.2.jpg',225);" src="http://pics.pof.com/thumbnails/168/51/13rv1hbww3d1ndg3vgx4zpomx289470751.2.jpg">
</a>
</div>

It's similar to AngularJS
