Is there a way to pass a form by clicking on a link

[HGeneAnthony]

I was wondering if it's possible for me to create a form where the user can submit the form by clicking on a hyperlink instead of clicking on a button to pass the data.  Is this possible?

Yes, you need to use javascript to do that

 

Example:

<a href="#" onclick="document.FORMNAME.submit();">Submit Form</a>

Thanx for the tip.  I'm always apprehensive though of using client-side scripting for anything that can break functionality.  If someone doesn't enable JavaScript the page won't work.  Question though, does Flash use  JavaScript to run or is it considered something else?

Flash uses ActionScript

And Flash is client-side as well. So, which is more prevalent: javascript or flash? Javascript is built in and enabled by default; flash requires the user to install it.

 

There is no way to submit a form through a hyperlink without client-side code that I know of. Why does it have to be a link and not a button? Is it only for aesthetic reasons? If that is the case you can simply style the button to look like a link.
