[SOLVED] Using a link to submit a form??

[komquat]

I am pulling a menu system from a DB and have a submenu, that I would like to call when I click on a link.  I want to submit a form with out a submit button, or have the submit button in a link.

 

Thanks for all the help

a link www.yourwebsite.com/yourfile.php?id1=what&id2=whatelse etc.


yourfile.php
<php
$id1=$_GET['id1'];

?>

 

enjoy.

Where is a good site for learning javascript?

 

The above is not what I am looking for.  I would like to use the onclick to call a page and use information from the first page.

 

Thanks for all the help

Google it!

 

onclick javascript

[mainewoods]

<a href="#" onclick="document.formname.submit();return false;">submit form</a>

[komquat]

The above returns me, now how can I use the information in the form?

 

I have some hidden values that I would like to use to do a sql search

 

Thanks

a link www.yourwebsite.com/yourfile.php?id1=what&id2=whatelse etc. for get

 

<form action=post> for post, look up the syntax!

[komquat]

I know the syntax, it is just not working when I use the onclick to submit the form, <a href="#" onclick="document.formname.submit();return false;">submit form</a> code given earlier.

Okay! First do you want to POST or use GET?

 

Paste your url here so can have a look.

Here is my relavent code:

 

'Start of the main menu table
response.write "<table align=right  height=15 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0>"
response.write "<tr>"
response.write "<td width=5 bgcolor=075B11 height=8> </TD>"


Do while not rstmenu.EOF

response.write "<form type=post id=test>"
response.write "<input type=hidden name=submenu value='yes'>"
response.write "<input type=hidden name=menu_id value='" & rstmenu("menu_id") & "'>"
response.write "<td width=5 bgcolor=075B11 height=8><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' color=white size=1><a href=andy_menu_trial.asp onclick='document.test.submit();return false'>" & rstmenu("menu_title") & "</a></font></td>"
response.write "<td width=5 bgcolor=075b11 height=8> </TD>"
response.write "</form>"

rstmenu.MoveNext

Loop

'Finish the table
response.write "</tr>"
response.write "</table>"
%>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td colspan=2 align=right>

<%
response.write request("submenu")

If request("submenu") = "yes" Then

	'#################################
	'# Contains the Link Information #
	'#################################

' Define Connection String
'	strsubcnn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=\\Smelter\Lab\DB\menu_trial.mdb;"

' Open connection
'	set cnnsubmenu = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
'	cnnsubmenu.open strsubcnn

'	Set rstsubmenu = server.createobject("ADODB.recordset")
'	rstsubmenu.open strsubSQL, cnnmenu

'Start of the sub menu table
response.write "<table align=right  height=15 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0>"
response.write "<tr>"
response.write "<td width=5 bgcolor=009ACD height=8> </TD>"


Do while not rstsubmenu.EOF

	response.write "<td width=5 bgcolor=009ACD height=8><font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' color=white size=1><a href=reports/" & rstsubmenu("submenu_link") & ">" & rstsubmenu("sub_menu") & "</a></font></td>"
	response.write "<td width=5 bgcolor=009ACD height=8> </TD>"

rstsubmenu.MoveNext

Loop

'Finish the table
response.write "</tr>"
response.write "</table>"

End if

Here you are my dear friend, you will have to adopt it to your ASP pages!

You can also use an image instead of link if you want!

 

I had to look deap, into my closet, because I figured it out but nver used it!

 

Why, don't you like the button?

[komquat]

I am using it on a menu system and buttons do not work for it.

 

I am trying to adapt it now, I will let you know how it turns out!

 

Thanks

[igor berger]

NP. You can bring some grub for my dog if it works!

[komquat]

I can not get it to work, I will have to play with it when I get a little more time

[komquat]

Thanks, I got it to work in php, now working with it in ASP

 

Thanks a bunch again!!
